Hey Duain!
The etrailer D-Shape Anti-Rattle Locking Hitch Pin # e43JR works with a 2" receiver, but is designed for the Benton line of bike racks. Your Yakima bike rack has a unique pin so this won't be cross-compatible.
When you install your bike rack do you shift it around in the receiver some while you're tightening of the anti-rattle pin? If you don't do that, the anti-rattle device won't be able to be snugged down as much and might be the reason you're getting that rattling still.
What Yakima bike rack do you have?

Hey Duain, Did you have a chance to try shifting your Yakima bike rack around in the receiver while tightening the anti-rattle pin? I'm asking because it might help reduce the rattling and could be useful for others facing a similar issue.
