• How to Prevent Hitch Pin Hole Deformity
  It is not extremely uncommon for the hitch pin hole on a trailer hitch receiver to become oblong after frequent usage. This is usually attributed to frequent back and forth movement of the shank inside the receiver tube opening that in time will deform the hitch pin hole. A good way to prevent or reduce this would be to use an anti-rattle device like part # GY88XR. Since the hitch pin hole on your existing trailer hitch has become deformed then I do recommend replacement as the problem...

• Recommended Anti-Rattle Device for a Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack
  Thanks for the information Tricia. I have a solution for you but the Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2" Hitch Receivers item # GY88XR is not going to be the best option with the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack item # HLY94FR. There's a bit of gap that's going to keep the Gen-Y item # GY88XR from mounting correctly. The best option is going to be the Malone Anti-Rattle HitchLock System item # MPG908. This one has a wider piece of steel that will grab the lip of your hitch's receiver to...

• Recommended Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for a 2 Inch Receiver on 2017 Toyota Highlander
  For your 2 inch receiver on your Toyota Highlander, the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - 2-5/8" Span # 63232 is a favorite for ball mounts and accessories. The SilentACT Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Lock - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SHP2082 is another great option for ball mount, cargo carrier and other accessories. Bike racks normally have their unique brand anti-rattle adapter.

• Availability of 2" to 1-1/4" Reducer With Built-In Rise for Bike Rack
  Hi LDJ; we have reducers like the # e63YR but none with a built in rise. What you can do is pair it with Gen-Y stacked receivers like the # 325-GH-303 with a 5" rise/drop or # 325-GH-304 with a 7-1/2" rise/drop. The design prevents any reduction in hitch capacity like other adapters and will get you the extra clearance. The Gen-Y is pretty solid but I recommend using an anti-rattle like # GY88XR to help reduce unwanted movement as you add more parts to your bike rack setup.

• Will Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier Fit 2024 Ford Bronco With Spare
  Hi David; this may actually be possible but it will definitely be a close call. The closest part of the rack from the center of the hitch pin hole on the EXO is 4-1/4". However, that is not where the box actually sits. If you take a look at the installation video below the back edge of the box is 12-1/2" out from the bumper of that RAV4. Really what it will come down to is the size of the spare and how much clearance there is between the bottom of the tire and the hitch. If it sits low...

• Does Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp Work With 2 Inch Trailer Hitch on Ford F-150
  The Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2" Hitch Receivers # GY88XR is actually designed to fit over the shank of a ball mount or accessory that fits into a 2-inch trailer hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch # C86HR that fits certain model year Ford F-150's and F-150 Raptors. So, the short answer is yes, the clamp will absolutely work with the hitch, but it does not go around the lip, it will actually go into the receiver and then you'll tighten it. If you take a look at the linked video review...

• Is Weigh Safe 180 Hitch 2-Ball Mount Compatible With Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Ball Mount
  Hey John! The Weigh Safe 180 Hitch 2-Ball Mount # WS45VR and Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount # 325-GH-503 can be used together. The nice thing about the Gen-Y stacked receivers is they are so well built it doesn't reduce your tongue weight capacity like a traditional adapter would. Since this does add extra parts to your setup it would be a good idea to use an anti-rattle like the # GY88XR to reduce unwanted movement. If you need anything else don't hesitate to reach...

• Recommended Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2" and 2 1/2" Hitches
  Hey Dan, congrats on the new Tacoma! When you say different, what do you mean exactly? The Gen-Y # GY28XR you're referring to is for 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" hitches so the new Tacoma could have a 2" x 2" hitch, which is why it doesn't work. If that's the case, then you'd just need the Gen-Y # GY88XR, which is the same thing as the one you tried already - but is just for 2" hitches. If you have anything else you need help with, feel free to leave a comment down below and we'll take care of you!

• Will the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar Work w/ the Factory Hitch on a Subaru Ascent?
  Hey Brian, thanks for the pictures. The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar is not going to fit your Ascent's factory hitch. It's going to be a tight fit if you can even mount it with the chain hangers so close but the main issue is the side mounting pieces will block your hitch pin holes. Are you planning on using the anti-rattle for a ball mount when towing or accessory like a bike rack? The Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2" Hitch Receivers item # GY88XR would definitely work and be a great...

• Hitch Extender for 2019 Range Rover Sport Towing 6,000 lb Trailer
  Hi Tom; the Roadmaster Anti-Rattle Hitch Extender # RM-071-1075 you were looking at is going to be the best option. However, you will need to make sure your setup doesn't exceed the 400 lb max tongue weight of the extender. You also need to be aware of the fact that a hitch extender reduces the capacity of your hitch by 50%. If you're saying the weight of the Zodiac and trailer is 6,000 lbs I'm guessing you will be over capacity. If that is the case, you could also use the Replacement...

• Will Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp Help Keep Curt Cargo Carrier Level
  Hey Brennen! Yes, the Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp # GY88XR will keep the cargo carrier from angling down and also reduce unwanted movement. When you tighten the bolts it will push up from the bottom to hold the cargo carrier in place. What do you use your cargo carrier for?

• Sleeve Style Anti Rattle Device for 2 Inch Hitch Extender
  We have just what you're looking for with the Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2" Hitch Receivers # GY88XR. The sleeve acts as a wedge to take out play between your hitch receiver and extender. Although it does not not require a wrench and a significant amount of force to install, like an anti-rattle bolt would, it will require you to use the included Allen tool to tighten down the two set screws on the corners. I've attached a video that explains how it works in more detail.

• How to Reduce Wobble when Using Curt Cargo Carrier C18145 in a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch
  Hitch accessories tend to wobble, especially those that use a 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch adapter. The threaded hitch pin can only do so much to combat the movement. The issue is that the shank of the accessory has to be slightly smaller than the opening otherwise it would be difficult to insert and remove the accessory. That combined with the single attachment point and width of a cargo carrier means that even the smallest gap between shank and receiver seems huge at either end of the carrier. What...

• Will DrawTite Anti-rattle Device 63080 Work with an 1-1/4 to 2 Inch Adapter?
  I do have a solution for you, however the Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer and Cover for 2" Hitch Receivers # 63080 is specifically designed to work with Draw-Tite 2" x 2" trailer hitch receivers. Because the collars on the hitch receivers can vary in thickness from manufacturer to manufacturer, chances are the 63080 will not work with your Haul Master adapter. If you're looking to reduce the rattling between the 2" receiver portion of your adapter and an accessory, I recommend the...

• How To Reduce Wobble On the Yakima HoldUp 2 Bike Rack
  I do have an option for you but I cannot confirm the SilentACT Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Accessories Lock part # SHP2082 will work with the Yakima HoldUp 2 Bike Rack like part # Y02443. That said, even if it were to fit it would likely not reduce wobble any more than the threaded hitch pin included with the bike rack. Instead, I recommend the Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp part # GY88XR for 2" as this will reduce wobble (inside the shank) and they also make it much easier to line up the hitch...

• Anti-Rattle Device for 2-1/2 Inch to 2 Inch Sleeve When Used with a Weight Distribution System
  I do have an option for you but the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer III part # BX88312 is the only device we have that will stabilize the reducer sleeve. If this will not work for you due to the position of the safety chain loops then the only other option, I would have is a wedge for the 2" shank, the Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp part # GY88XR. Unfortunately, we would not have anything to help stabilize the 2-1/2" to 2" sleeve inside the receiver tube. The best option we have for you would...

• How To Fix Stripped Threads On the Hitch Pin Hole In the Shank for the Reese Eclipse 4 Bike Rack
  If you have the hitch pin for the Reese Eclipse 4 Bike Rack part # 63124 engaged enough so that the cotter pin can be inserted into the other side, then this will be sufficient in order to hold the shank inside of the receiver tube. That said, the bike rack may not be as stable as it would be with full thread engagement so that is something to keep in mind. I cannot really recommend that you drill and tap the weld nut inside the shank, but you could just drill this out with a 5/8" drill...

• Anti-Rattle Device that Can be Used when Towing a Trailer
  The MaxxTow Anti-Rattle Clamp has not been tested or rated for use when towing a trailer. Because of that it should only be used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks or cargo carriers. So basically, since they have not tested it for towing, they can't rate it for towing and that is where that note on the product page came from. For an anti-rattle device that you can tow with and costs about the same as the MaxxTow I recommend # 63232. This will work with a ball mount that has...

• How to Reduce Movement of the Ball Mount Inside the Trailer Hitch Receiver Tube
  It is very unlikely that the hitch pin hole on your Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver is worn causing the ball mount to slide back and forth. There is usually a little bit of play in the receiver tube opening with a ball mount and this can easily be fixed using an anti-rattle hitch pin like the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 63232. This hitch pin has both anti-rattle and locking capabilities. It comes with everything needed for installation including two keys. As long as the...

• Is it Okay for Ball Mount to Move in Trailer Hitch Receiver Some
  What you are describing is actually pretty normal for a ball mount. There is almost always some tolerance between the trailer hitch receiver and the ball mount (or accessory) being installed which is why there are a variety of anti-rattle devices out there. Some accessories and ball mounts come with them built-in but if you have a standard ball mount there are aftermarket anti-rattle devices you can use. Technically the tolerance you have is fine but if you want to get rid of it we do have...

• Anti-Rattle Device to Use with Rock Tamers on a 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500
  Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer II - 2-1/2" Hitches Item # BX88225 would not work with your Rock Tamers because it needs some of the same space occupied by the Rock Tamer mounting bracket. If you are using a hollow shank ball mount, I recommend using XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches - 3-1/2" Span # SHP2040 to reduce movement. If it is a solid shank, then I recommend Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2" Hitch Receivers # GY88XR which wedges itself between the ball...

• Recommendation to Take Out Play in Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System
  We do have a variety of anti-rattle devices that you can use with the Blue Ox SwayPro weight distribution. I recommend using the Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp # GY88XR because it uses a wedge to take up the slack as opposed to clamping the shank against the receiver. I reached out to my contact at Gen-Y who said that this is an excellent option for weight distribution systems. For a hitch pin that is an upgrade to the pin and clip that comes with the SwayPro I recommend the Locking Hitch Pin...
