Recommended Replacement Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Thule Bike Rack

Updated 12/14/2020 | Published 12/10/2020

Question:

I have an old Thule bike rack. I need to replace my snug tite lock body. Unfortunately I do not know which rack I have. It it is similarly to an expressway 996 except on my rack, the bike arm folds down and there is a lockable cable in the bike arm. Can you advise me which rack I have so I can get the correct lock? Thanks,

I have a solution for you, but the body of the Snug-Tite locks is not sold separately; additionally, there are a few different Thule racks that operate in the manner that you mention and they'll all use the same replacement anti-rattle lock. With that said, you can replace the entire assembly with the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2, which is a confirmed fit for Thule bike racks that mount in 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers including the Expressway.
