I have a 2019 Tahoe with factory hitch and Yakima Ridgeback 4 that has way to much wobble for my comfort. Which products would you recommend for fixing? Thanks!

The best way to reduce the rattle and wobble that you are understandably trying to get rid of is with an accessory anti-rattle clamp, the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for 2" Hitches # e99007.

To use it, just clamp the U-bolt around the rack's shank and put the stabilizer plate over the hitch receiver; this will tighten up the connection and help stop the wobble you mentioned.

I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well of the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for 2" Hitches # e99007.
