Question:

Looking for an adapter to put a 1 1/4inch shank on a Thule 957 Parkway 4 bike rack into a 2inch hitch receiver. I understand there is not one made for this rack. Is there one that would function with a little bit of work?

Expert Reply:

I recommend using the Hitch Adapter # 80300 with your Thule Parkway 957 4 bike rack. I confirmed with Thule that there is not a reducer sleeve that is compatible and they no longer produce the replacement shank for a 2" receiver as this rack is no longer in production.

The Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232 will allow you to lock and remove the rattle from the adapter in the 2" receiver. We also have the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2 that will secure the bike rack on the adapter if you do not already have one with your hitch.
