StowAway Hitch Tightener

ممتازة

Desde el momento que lo he usado, el rack de bicicletas dejo de vibrar; solo lo he tenido que ajustar 1 vez. Muy recomendable si lo que buscas es reducir la vibración / ruido.

This little device did exactly what i was hoping it would do; tighten and secure my 2" receiver bar. It now sits nice and solid with virtually no movement horizontally or vertically. One note when installing it. most receiver hitches have some type of chain loop for the breakaway chains on the towed vehicle. On my hitch this is a flat plate with two holes in it, see the first photo. This plate is just thick enough to screw up the install of this hitch tightener. Make "sure" the flat part of the hitch tightener is sitting flat on the receiver lip only and not on that chain plate (photos 2 & 3) or you'll never get the hitch bar to tighten up, no matter how hard your torque down on the nuts. The angled portion of the hitch tightener appears to be designed to make up for the added thickness of the lip on the receiver end. However on my vehicle that chain plate is actually a fraction thicker than the lip and this is just enough to mess things up. Once i figured this out it was a piece of cake and worked liked a charm. The correct install is shown in the last photo......this is great product. One other reason i chose this unit are the direction of the bolts, they point down. A little more hassle to install but the units that have the bolts pointing up would have hit the underside of my bumper and tore it up (2008 Tahoe). Hope these tips help.

This took about 5 minutes to install, I installed mine "upside down" with the threads pointing up so it did not reduce ground clearance. I'm using: 2009 Honda Fit Hatch U-Haul Hitch Class 1 Yakima 5 bike rack The tightener completely removed all the wobble due to a loose connection between receiver and rack. Keep in mind, that there still is a very slight wobble from the bike rack itself as it has several connection points where it's bolted together. This wobble is very minor compared to what happens if the hitch is loose. Overall, I would buy this again and would recommend it to everyone with this issue.
