Question:
I have a SportRack Evader 3 Bike Carrier that I purchased from you and the Hitch bolt on the Anti-Rattle Bike Rack Hitch Lock bolt sheared off while I was driving. I was wondering if the Thule Replacement Threaded Pin will work with the SportRack Carrier and lock. From the photo they look the same. Thanks

Expert Reply:
According to Thule, they have not tested their threaded hitch pin with the SportRack Evader.
We have tested this in the past, and have found that the thread pitch of the SportRack and Thule anti-rattle hitch bolts are different, and therefore they are NOT interchangeable.
If you would like a non-locking hitch pin, part # 05002400000 would be an acceptable replacement along with the # T050023 replacement clip. However, the pin used with the # SR0901 anti-rattle hitch lock is not sold separately.
