Nearly every hitch setup suffers from a bit of slip. This free play between your trailer hitch receiver and your hitch-mounted accessory is completely normal, but it's also completely preventable. By adding the Quiet Hitch to your setup, you can stabilize your hitch-mounted accessory as it sits in the receiver to eliminate rattle, sway, and all that extra play.
Just slip the Quiet Hitch over your tow bar, hitch adapter, ball mount, or other accessory. When you slide the accessory into the hitch receiver, position the U-bolt around the collar on the bottom of your hitch receiver. Then place the bar on top of the accessory shank and tighten the nuts onto the U-bolt. As you tighten the Quiet Hitch, the shank of your accessory will be pulled down towards the bottom of the receiver opening, thus securing it in place within the tube.
Benefits for a Tow Bar
Using an anti-rattle device, such as the Quiet Hitch, is recommended when flat towing a vehicle. Besides reducing wear and tear on your tires, hitch receiver, and tow bar, using an anti-rattle device can help prevent more serious problems. A small amount of free play at your hitch may not seem like much, but this sway is magnified the farther back you go. A little movement at the hitch translates to a lot of movement at the rear of your towed vehicle. By using the Quiet Hitch, you eliminate this sway at the source.
Note: If you have a towing setup that includes a drop receiver or a high-low adapter, use 2 immobilizers to make your system as secure and rattle-free as possible. Use 1 Quiet Hitch at the connection point between the adapter and your hitch, and use the other where your tow bar slides into the adapter.

Use this hitch immobilizer to keep your ball mount or hitch-mounted accessory from rattling and shifting in your receiver. Great for tow bars, high-low adapters, bike racks, cargo carriers, and more. Quick, simple bolt-on installation.I just bought a new bike rack for my E-bike, and in order to be able to put the tailgate down with the e-bike on the rack, I had to install a 7" extender on to the 2" hitch. The bike rack already had a anti-rattle device built in, but the 7" extension moved around a lot, making my e-bike sway real bad while on the road. A simple and excellent fix was installing the Quiet Hitch, an Anti-rattle Ring. After I installed it, the bike rack was solid as a rock. Installed in just a few minutes, and very well made. (Of course, it's made in the good old USA.). Made by Roadmaster. Good Job!
William - 09/30/2020Works exactly like it supposed to. No rattle no noise. Fit perfectly and was easy to install. We installed it on a 8 inch extension on the back of a travel trailer for a bike rack because we do not want the bike rack moving around. Works great.
It works on such a simple principle and does a great job. Simple to put on and holds the ball mount perfectly still. I use a very long ball mount so there is leverage on it when towing but with this item, it is very secure and takes out all the "play" between the ball mount and the hitch sleeve.
Paula S - 02/28/2021This product has been flawless. I have a hitch extension with a riser, attached to a hitch swing out mount and then attach a 3 bike rack to that. The point is my set up puts a huge amount of stress on this anti wobble device and it has handled it perfectly. Did I mention I’ve driven this set up hundreds of miles off road? Washboard roads and plenty of off road in Baja Mexico. I originally tried one of the flat steel plate anti wobble devices, it ended up bending. I can not recommend this round anti wobble device enough!
I order the roadmaster quiet hitch from E-trailer and it seems to be working OK, it's taken out about half of the wobble on my hitch Accessory. I give E-trailer of 5 star for shipping it out, it only took about a week. And I give the product about 4 stars because it is built sturdy and seems to be working OK.
Matt J - 07/25/2019The product is effective beyond my hopes. All the rattling of my 6" drop hitch has stopped when under load or just driving without the trailer. I couldn't be happier.
Doug O - 04/19/2020Very Good Product... but it isn't able to be reversed on my 2015 Ford Explorer (position for anti rattle during towing) due to the placement of the factory welded plate that receives the trailer safety chains. It can be used with the heavy bar on the bottom of the mount but not on the top. Disappointing, but it is still effective.
After a long review of available products to reduce rattle on my low-tongue-weight job trailer, I settled on this unit as my only hope. I had to install it upside-down (nuts down) because the safety chain anchor rings on my Jeep Renegade block access to the lower lip on the receiver. Even so, it eliminated the greatest part of the awful rattle, bringing the problem down to a truly acceptable level.
Grand A - 09/30/2017It makes the trailer pull better because its solid now. It's a little inconvenient when diffrent hitches are used.
Jeff - 02/22/2021I just fitted the Blue Ox towbar, for 6 inch, drop/rise, receivers. Also, the, Roadmaster quiet hitch lock, for 2 inch hitches. Both are excellent products, strong and very well made. There is no movement, with my new hitch lock in place. Two pictures included, showing both, attached to my Subaru Ascent, the drop hitch now sits at 15 1/2 inches above the ground. I will send more pictures of the lights, also purchased from etrailer.com when my mobility scooter carrier is completed.
Just what I needed. Still holding strong after 1 year. I used it to keep a 4 bike hitch mount rack, from jiggling around. I feel more confident when its all locked down. High recommend this.
Kenny F - 11/23/2020I installed two of these units to take up the slack in the hitch and tow combo. It worked like a charm. In a diesel pusher you don't hear much from the back but everything seems tighter and any feeling that things were wandering around has been eliminated.
Works as advertised. Very heavy duty. Used it on bike rack as well as kayak trailer. This hardware is SOLID.
This little baby really secured the truck to the trailer! No more clunking and banking between the two every time you slow down, stop, or make a turn!
This invention is exactly what I needed. I pull several trailers and also a camper. It takes all the clunk and rattle out of the hitch. Its the real deal!
Donald - 05/09/2019Recent purchase of a Pro Series Cargo Carrier 63153. Assembly of the carrier was very straight forward but when installed into the 2" receiver, there was too much play at the receiver for my liking. Jonathan at etrailer recommended the RM-061 Quiet Hitch and got it to me while away on a trip. Installation was easy and it completely eliminated all the play. Now the cargo carrier acts like it is part of the truck, not and add on, a perfect solution!!
Order was delivered four days ahead of schedule and was just what they advertised. Sales person was knowledgable of thre weight distribution system and helped me order the correct down shank my truck and trailer required. As usual a good experience.
William - 08/18/2020This eliminated the rattle between ball mount and receiver. I bought a second one for my other tow vehicle. One of my receivers had extra weld on the bottom but this device still worked great. One of these was left on for over a year. There was some corrosion but devise is still functional. One of these is on a 8 inch drop ball mount pulling a 7000 lb trailer.
Easy to install and locked down the hitch extension rock solid. Haven't had a chance to test on the road yet. Pricey!
I haven't towed anything yet after installing this product, however I've tried to get the hitch to wiggle using both hands and plenty of body English. The hitch is as tight as if welded. It's nice to purchase a product that works as well as or better than advertised!
GREGORY C - 05/06/2018THIS SIMPLE, INEXPENSIVE DEVICE WORKS EXACTLY AS INTENDED. IT STOPS THE MOVEMENT OF THE HITCH IN THE RECEIVER WHICH PREVENTS DAMAGE/ELONGATION OF THE HITCH PIN HOLE. I WIPED OUT THE RECEIVER ON MY LAST TRUCK BUT AFTER 2 YEARS WITH THIS DEVICE, MY NEW ONE IS STILL LIKE NEW. IT ALSO HELPS A LITTLE AS AN ANTI THEFT DEVICE.
We have a small pop up camper on our 4WD truck, We fabricated a top step using a plate(step tread) welded on a draw bar. The step moved slightly because the draw bar was not secure. The Roadmaster "Quiet Hitch" removed all the "wiggle" in the step and has removed the extra movement out of our tow hitch ( we tow a Suzucki Samurai).
Jim M - 12/27/2017I would rate you high and I am very satisfied. I have used you before a couple of times over the years. I bought a trailer hitch from you before, towing parts, and a few other things I can’t remember as the trailer hitch was 8 or 9 years ago.
Don - 03/11/2020I have three Quiet hitches. One on my 2016 Dodge Ram, and i have two on my 2007 that has a camper that is extended two feet beyond the receiver and i pull a 32' boat i could hear the extensions rattling with every bump. So i purchased two for my 2007 and ended all of the rattling completely. It worked so well on 2007. I purchased one for my 2016. This is a simple and great fix for a rattling receiver.
Simple to install. Eliminated hitch rattle completely. I would recommend it to anyone.
