Hi, everyone, it's Evangeline. And today we'll be taking a look at our Replacement Anti-Rattle Bolts and Locks for your Saris Bike Racks right here at etrailer. So this bolt will work with your inch and a quarter and 2-inch shank bike rack. So if you have one or the other, or you have an adapter, this will help thread into there and keep it tight. So this is designed to work with your threaded bike racks and we have a list of those bike racks below on our product page. But this is also used with your hollow shank bike racks as long as you have this piece.
The bike rack will have this piece included with it which is the Saris SuperClamp HD. But if the bolt itself is missing or you need a lock, this has the same thread and will work with that too. This is the hitch tite replacement part from Saris, this fits into your hollow shanks but this is the bolt that's included. So if you want to use your Saris lock, it will not fit. And that's why you might be interested in getting the threaded bolt along with the hitch tite assembly.
So whether you have the Saris bike rack that has threads on the inside, or you have a hollow shank and you're using this hitch tightener, all you need to do is put the anti-rattle bolt into the bike rack, once it's lined up with your hitch pin hole and then you're gonna be using a 3 quarter inch wrench or socket like what I'm using here to tighten it down. Once you have this tightened down, you can now see, that this took out mostly your side to side rattle. Because of the way it's designed though, you might still have a little bit of up and down movement. But side to side, you're all good. Don't forget to put the lock right there at the end once you have that tightened down.
That should pop in, secure it, take your keys out, you can even put the dust cap on it, then you're good to go. So as you can see, it's the direct replacement part for your bike racks that have threaded shanks as well as a replacement part for bikes with hollow shanks as long as you have the correct tightener nut on the inside of those shanks. Hopefully this helped you out with getting the correct part and seeing what you need for your adventures. Now, this right here was a look at the Saris Threaded Hitch Bolt with Lock right here for your Saris inch and a quarter and 2-inch bike racks here at etrailer. My name is Evangeline and I hope this helped you out..

The hitch lock spans my new 2.5 inch receiver with about 1/4 inch to spare and is now lockable. The original hitch tite pin is the same length but the lock on this item locks from the side and makes better use of the pin.
Poor quality, it broke apart. I returned it
Works well on performance x-port racks. Bolt is a bit longer than the original but it does not interfere with rack or hitch. Nice to have the added security of locking the rack to the hitch.
Another great product from etrailer.
Great customer service from etrailer
This will work perfectly. Now I can lock my bike carrier to my vehicle.
My hitch bike rack was delivered in a timely fashion actually quicker than I thought. After opening the box for my Pro platform rack I found all pieces present. Putting it together was a breeze and then I attached it to my 2013 Honda Fit which I also purchased my hitch from Etrailer. The only draw back was that after I put my bike on I couldn't open my hatch I thought the whole rack would tilt away so I can get into rear of vehicle. I had to take bikes off hitch I was disappointed in that. the reason for the purchase of this particular hitch was that it worked for my RV and Honda. Other than that it seems to be a solid Hitch.
I had a hitch put on my car to hold a bike rack and anything else towable. At the two year mark, my lock froze, because I did not maintain it correctly. I searched and finally found Etrailer. The replacement was sent quickly and with proper oiling, should be good for years.
Appreciate the inventory and prompt service.
I have yet to try the product since it is below zero outside and not very conducive to biking. The bike rack did arrived with one broken strap. Saris and etrailer have been helpful in getting that replacement taken care of. my only real complaint is that I ordered the lock in the hitch lock. I would have expected that they could come with the same key so I wouldn't have to carry multiple keys but they did not. Other than that the bike rack looks very nice and I look forward to using it when it warms up.
This has been a great lock for my bike rack. I used to remove the rack altogether and lock it in the bed of my truck every time I went for a bike ride - mainly out of fear that the rack would be stolen. This lock has made my life MUCH easier, and gives me the peace of mind of knowing that my rack will still be attached to my truck when I return from my ride.
This was an ABSOLUTELY PERFECT fit for my Bell Right Up bike carrier! I purchased and returned a few others off Amazon that stated they would fit this same carrier and they either too big or the threads were off so I could screw the bolt in. If you have the Bell Right Up, this lock will give you peace of mind knowing it'll fit securely to your hitch.
I just wrote another positive review for the Saris anti rattle hitch insert with 5 stars. This lock is fantastic for anyone who has a Saris bike rack that is hitch mounted or other hitch mounted racks. You can secure your rack so you can leave the campground area and don’t need to worry about your bikes disappearing when you go for a walk. I looked around on Amazon and other sites for bike racks that are hitch mounted and couldn’t find this model anywhere. Bottom line, if they carry this part, etrailer.com will have that other obscure part Yu broke or lost on your last camping trip. The site is very easy to use and they got me my part in two days! 5 stars!
I can't believe how quiet my Saris Freedom 2 bike rack is after installing this hitch. Not the slightest knock or rattle anymore. This hitch lock truly exceeded my expectations!
Lock is well made and provides a good security feature for the Saris Freedom series hitch mounted racks.
I also purchased the 4412B Freedom 2 rack and I'm impressed with the design and manufacturing taken to produce such a device
Thank you Mark for your helpful assistance with the purchase of my bike rack and lock from e-trailers. Everything was shipped promptly and I am very happy with your products and the installation. I definitely will do business with you again. Thank you

The Hitch Tight anti rattle hitch lock by Saris gives me piece of mind knowing that my new Saris Bones 2 bike rack is safe and secure! It screws in very easily and the lock secures the whole unit .
Easy to use. Simply replaces the original hitch pin.

Still satisfied. I need to remove my bike rack often
Thanks for keeping me posted on my order, Korren. It arrived when promised.
I would have given 5 stars, but the USPS took almost a month to deliver the bike carrier hitch lock.
Seems like a sturdy product however I wish it didn’t need to be unlocked and completely removed in order to take the rack off. Would love if you could unlock and easily remove the rack for safe storage in your trunk.
Product fits good for our bike rack. Quality material lock. Waiting almost 2 weeks for this lock that was in-stock was not good.
It would be perfect if it was made to fit a Thule rack, but a tap fixed that issue.
The lock replaces a lock we lost for our 20+ year-old Saris bike rack. So thankful this item was in stock.
I mount it backwards from the original bolt, but the threads are long enough this is no problem. Makes it easier to use the key. I'm glad I got it.
This is just what I needed. It is exactly the right part for my Saris bicycle carrier.
I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. From the moment Chris answered the phone, walked me through the options and emailed me to let me know that the rack and lock had been delivered, the experience was exceptional. And...their pricing was better than others. I'll be back as needed, often.

The securing straps are a little cumbersome but overall I really like the rack. Very satisfied.
