Replacement Anti-Rattle Kit for Older Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack

Updated 05/25/2024 | Published 05/22/2024

Question:

I have a very old about 1995-2000 Yakima full swing, 4 bike rack that mounts in a 2inch receiver. The hitch bolt is 5/8inch diameter. The bolt is okay, but I want to replace the square plastic nut and 5/8inch diameter nut. What product do you have that will best fit that?

Hey Chris, thanks for all of the information and photos!

The part you're wanting for your older Yakima FullSwing 4 (8002403) is the kit 8780024, but it has been discontinued by Yakima so the only way you'll be able to get that exact setup is if an individual seller just happens to have that exact piece.

The solution that Yakima has for your bike rack now is to switch over to the Replacement 2" Anti-Rattle Hitch Bolt Assembly # Y8780022 which uses a 1/2" bolt and nut as opposed to the 5/8" setup you currently have.
