The Swagman XC 2 is a Great Rack Should I Tighten it up Periodically

Question:

This fits very well into the trailer hitch. No wobble there at all, very sturdy. However, the actual head of the rack where it attaches to the trailer hitch rod the headinch of the T-shape wobbles. I noticed there are two bolts on the underside of this section, do those need to be tightened? Besides this, LOVE this rack. Had it for about a year now, this is the only issue.

Yes it is a good idea to tighten the bolts on the Swagman XC 2-Bike Platform Rack part # S64650 from time to time or really any other rack for that matter.

Over time as the metal or finish wears it will loosen up slightly. I like to check mine every 2 or 3 months and tighten it just enough to get any play or wobble out of it.
