What are the Thread Dimensions of the Anti-Rattle Device # 63232

Published 07/13/2011

Question:

We have a bike rack manuf. by Sportworks now owned by Thule that is missing the anti-wobble stabilizer bolt. The bike rack is for 2 hitch receiver. Thule said they dont have the part anymore so they werent much help, but they did give us some of the dimensions for the bolt: bolt diameter is 5/8, thread pitch is 11, and thread length on bolt is 1.5 This part part # 63232 is the only one I found that might work. It has the same bolt diameter and is used for a 2 hitch. The only things Im not sure of is whether or not this part matches the thread info that Thule gave, and whether or not this part will work with a bike rack pin hole that is already threaded instead of hollow without threads as is the case with some bike racks. Thanks,

I spoke with my contact at Tow Ready and he informed me that the threads of the Anti-Rattle Device # 63232 that you referenced are 5/8 inch in diameter with 11 threads per inch UNC2A.
