Curt Hollow Shank Accessories Anti-Rattle Kit Review Video

Yes, the Holdup for 1-1/4 inch hitches requires a different, smaller hitch pin. For that you'd need the part #Y90195 which comes with the new wrench you'd need and the smaller hitch pin for use with the #8880580.

In order to use an anti-rattle device like #F-315 the shank of the accessory has to be hallow. Most 1-1/4 inch shanks are solid. Also, the 1-1/4 inch Yakima HoldUp uses a threaded pin, #Y8880129, which acts as an anti-rattle device. There is a…

Most often the anti-rattle bolts and locks used on bike racks are unique to the specific brand and sometimes even to the particular rack model. Racks with threaded holes in their shanks are made to accept specific matching threaded bolts to provide…

To use a 3 bike rack, you will want a larger hitch. The Class I hitch you referenced 60869 will only allow 2 bikes to be carried on a 3 bike rack and has been discontinued. I recommend you upgrade to the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver -…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

The shank used on the Curt #C45650 mult-ball ball mount is a solid piece of bar stock, not a hollow tube. If you look at the hitch pin hole in the photo I've provided, you can see that the bar is solid.

The best option we have for you to help with raising the rack would be with the Trailer Hitch Adapter part #e93YR. In order to use this you'd need to use the included adapter sleeve with your bike rack to fit the 2" hitch size. There…

For your 2023 Subaru Forester, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item #e83ZR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Subaru with included hardware. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. I have linked an installation video below and…

A 4-Way trailer connector has the basic lighting functions only; running lights, left turn signal and brake lights, right turn signal and brake lights, and ground. A 7-Way has these functions and a 12 volt circuit, a circuit for electric trailer…

What determines if a cargo carrier will fold is the distance from the center hitch pin hole to the nearest point on the carrier when the rack is folded up compared to the distance from the center hitch pin hole to the furthest point of the spare…

Thank you for the measurements, they helped a great deal. With those measurements you need a carrier that is going to be less than 5-3/4", which would be the Curt #C18109. This is a steel carrier that is 60-1/4" long x 19-5/8" wide and…

I wouldn't say one type of ball mount has more or a reputation of failing than the other. The welded on triple ball mount part #BWBMTT31004 that you referenced is very well made and would not have any issues with reliability.
