AJ: What's up everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we will be checking out this pro series anti-rattle device. Now what this does is it takes that shake and play out of your ball mount or cargo carrier, or even bike rack that it fits on. As you can see the ball mount goes up and down, back and forth. When you're driving on the road, you're going to hear that. We're going to install this and show you how it takes it out of it.
To attach our device, we're going to go ahead and pull the ball mount out. We're going to slide the device on, put it back in the hitch, find the hole just like you normally would. We're going to go ahead and put our pin in now.Then we're going to move the device up to the edge of the hitch. Work it in just a little bit. There you go.
You can see it sits, flush against the hitch, and then we'll just tighten the bolt back down. As you tighten it down, you're going to feel way more tension on it and that's taken away the shake and play from the ball mount. I tightened down the bolt, now we're going to tighten down the jam nut, just to give it that extra help. Looks like it's already pretty tight. Look at this, remember that shake and play, and that up and down, it's not happening anymore.
It's that easy to install, and it works that well. Like I said, it's not shaking, it's not moving like it was before at all. You can use this on your bike rack or your cargo carrier to take out that shake.Actually, we're going to show you that on a cargo carrier here in a little bit, but you have different options when it comes to these anti-rattle devices. Some of them only work with hollow shanks, and those would be the anti-rattle hitch pins that would go inside of the shank, and you put like a little block in there with the spring, and then you put the pin through that way. Those are great, but again, only work with hollow shank.
This isn't a hollow shank ball mount. This one goes along the outside, and it'll work with all those different types of ball mounts. So I think this one's actually better. I've used one also that has four or five bolts at the bottom. That one worked really well too, but it didn't have the jam nuts. The jam nut really makes it on this one so that the bolt can't get backed out and over time when you're towing or whatever, just in here.Taking a closer look at it, you can see it's a black powder coat finish and one solid piece of steel. So that's awesome, because you don't have a bunch of moving pieces or parts that you can lose. You really just have this bracket, this nut, and this bolt, and really when you go to take it off, you can just unscrew it here, and leave the bolt in there, and it's all going to stay in one piece. Plus, it's small enough to store pretty much anywhere you need it to.We've been sold the etrailor aluminum cargo carrier, just to show you how much shake and play the anti-rattle device is going to take out of it. Now I can move it with one hand, and show you all the movement it has, but that's aluminum, so it's not as heavy as a normal cargo carrier, so that's why it's moving so much. Let's go ahead and get it installed. We've installed this, check it out. You can see it's still moving just a little bit, but man, it's way less than it was before. So that just goes to show you whether you're using a cargo carrier, or a bike rack, or a ball mount, it's going to get the job done. That does it for our look at the pro series anti-rattle device..

Nice item, works as advertised
Very helpful customer service and good video on How to
Good service, product works great. Thanks
Just what I was looking for ,, works great doing the job.
Helpful sales person. Quick delivery, everything I could ask for.
The ordering process was easy, shipping was on schedule and the product is well valued.
Excellent product and timely shipping and notification. Highly recommend ordering from these folks.
Product as expected. Great service. Fast delivery.
This works very well.
Keeps the rattle down, but keeper bolt must be cranked tight.
Everything else I got works amazingly. However, this product when trying to tighten the bolt stripped the bolt. Thus making it unusable.
It bents after 2 months, bent where the bolt is mounted. I have to weld my .
Not worth buying
Completely useless! The weld holding the nut on occluded the hole for the bolt, therefore the bolt could not be threaded into the device. When I tried to thread the bolt from the underside of the device to see if this would fix the problem, the bolt snapped off.
I have been pleased with the ability to reduce the noise and rattle the device provides. In my application, it meets the description very well and I have no complaints.
Some recommendations from my use of the device: keep a good box-end wrench or socket with your trailer that allows you to tighten the device very tight (if not very tight, it will loosen and not work); I use WD40 silicon spray on the bolt each time I install it; if you plan to take this on and off like I do, plan to take the 2 minutes and install this device each time you pull your trailer, it's worth the time.
This Anti Rattle device worked exactly as stated....Nice and quiet now ...thanks for a great product... Excellent Rating.....
This just worked. Customer service was great!
Finally found a anti-rattle device which fits both of my vehicles. Turn around time from order to receipt was very fast. Thanks Etrailer.
Doesn't work. If you tighten the bolt down enough to work the bolt strips. If it had two bolts, maybe it would work better, who knows.
etrailer fulfilled order quickly. Product is sturdy and well made. Paint is excellent. Product works as advertised. I do think that they should put a plat at the end of the locking bolt to prevent marks on the car hitch
The bike racki n our car, was VERY wobbly...untilI installed this product that I bought from etrailer.com The service and shipping was outstanding, and within a few minutes, my bike rack much more solid, than I expected... HIGHLY recommended !!!
