Expert Reply:

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 pin hole each time.

If the wobble you are concerned with is the actual rack and not the shank then you will need a stability strap, the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap part # 18050.
