Use this hitch immobilizer to keep your ball mount or hitch-mounted accessory from rattling and shifting in your receiver. Great for tow bars, high-low adapters, bike racks, cargo carriers, and more. Quick, simple bolt-on installation.

- Hitch immobilizer keeps hitch-mounted accessories stable and secure
- Helps to eliminate rattle and sway within your hitch receiver
- Works with ball mounts, tow bars, and hitch-mounted accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers
- Bolt-on installation is quick and easy
- Slide over the shank of your hitch-mounted accessory
- Hook the U-bolt around the collar of your hitch receiver
- Made in the USA
Specs:
- Application: most 2" x 2" trailer hitch receivers
- Hitch receiver must have a ring or collar around it for Quiet Hitch to attach
- Maximum inside height: 2-1/2"
- Inside width: 3-1/8"

Nearly every hitch setup suffers from a bit of slip. This free play between your trailer hitch receiver and your hitch-mounted accessory is completely normal, but it's also completely preventable. By adding the Quiet Hitch to your setup, you can stabilize your hitch-mounted accessory as it sits in the receiver to eliminate rattle, sway, and all that extra play.
Just slip the Quiet Hitch over your tow bar, hitch adapter, ball mount, or other accessory. When you slide the accessory into the hitch receiver, position the U-bolt around the collar on the bottom of your hitch receiver. Then place the bar on top of the accessory shank and tighten the nuts onto the U-bolt. As you tighten the Quiet Hitch, the shank of your accessory will be pulled down towards the bottom of the receiver opening, thus securing it in place within the tube.
Benefits for a Tow Bar
Using an anti-rattle device, such as the Quiet Hitch, is recommended when flat towing a vehicle. Besides reducing wear and tear on your tires, hitch receiver, and tow bar, using an anti-rattle device can help prevent more serious problems. A small amount of free play at your hitch may not seem like much, but this sway is magnified the farther back you go. A little movement at the hitch translates to a lot of movement at the rear of your towed vehicle. By using the Quiet Hitch, you eliminate this sway at the source.
Note: If you have a towing setup that includes a drop receiver or a high-low adapter, use 2 immobilizers to make your system as secure and rattle-free as possible. Use 1 Quiet Hitch at the connection point between the adapter and your hitch, and use the other where your tow bar slides into the adapter.

I just bought a new bike rack for my E-bike, and in order to be able to put the tailgate down with the e-bike on the rack, I had to install a 7" extender on to the 2" hitch. The bike rack already had a anti-rattle device built in, but the 7" extension moved around a lot, making my e-bike sway real bad while on the road. A simple and excellent fix was installing the Quiet Hitch, an Anti-rattle Ring. After I installed it, the bike rack was solid as a rock. Installed in just a few minutes, and very well made. (Of course, it's made in the good old USA.). Made by Roadmaster. Good Job!
Comments
The quiet hitch is still working as good as the first day I put it on. Its been a slow year, with the flu and all, but I expect it to be a great tool for years to come.

It works on such a simple principle and does a great job. Simple to put on and holds the ball mount perfectly still. I use a very long ball mount so there is leverage on it when towing but with this item, it is very secure and takes out all the "play" between the ball mount and the hitch sleeve.

Still working great!

This product has been flawless. I have a hitch extension with a riser, attached to a hitch swing out mount and then attach a 3 bike rack to that. The point is my set up puts a huge amount of stress on this anti wobble device and it has handled it perfectly. Did I mention I’ve driven this set up hundreds of miles off road? Washboard roads and plenty of off road in Baja Mexico. I originally tried one of the flat steel plate anti wobble devices, it ended up bending. I can not recommend this round anti wobble device enough!

It makes the trailer pull better because its solid now. It's a little inconvenient when diffrent hitches are used.
Comments
It works well. I have several different hitches and repeated tightening has caused wear to the threads. I should replace it. I do have to change it often, so I expected some wear. All in all Id say it is a good value.

I order the roadmaster quiet hitch from E-trailer and it seems to be working OK, it's taken out about half of the wobble on my hitch Accessory. I give E-trailer of 5 star for shipping it out, it only took about a week. And I give the product about 4 stars because it is built sturdy and seems to be working OK.
Comments
Ive had to replace both nuts on both sides due to the fact they just did not seem to tighten down and stay tight. I went ahead and bought hardened nuts instead and they seem to be working out. It still only keeps the rattle down to about 50 or 70 but its better than nothing

I just fitted the Blue Ox towbar, for 6 inch, drop/rise, receivers. Also, the, Roadmaster quiet hitch lock, for 2 inch hitches. Both are excellent products, strong and very well made. There is no movement, with my new hitch lock in place. Two pictures included, showing both, attached to my Subaru Ascent, the drop hitch now sits at 15 1/2 inches above the ground. I will send more pictures of the lights, also purchased from etrailer.com when my mobility scooter carrier is completed.

After a long review of available products to reduce rattle on my low-tongue-weight job trailer, I settled on this unit as my only hope. I had to install it upside-down (nuts down) because the safety chain anchor rings on my Jeep Renegade block access to the lower lip on the receiver. Even so, it eliminated the greatest part of the awful rattle, bringing the problem down to a truly acceptable level.
Comments
After a year, the hitch rattles slightly more than it did when I first installed it yes, the torque is still proper but still nowhere near as bad as it did before I purchased it.

Order was delivered four days ahead of schedule and was just what they advertised. Sales person was knowledgable of thre weight distribution system and helped me order the correct down shank my truck and trailer required. As usual a good experience.

Ok but not as good as hoped. I bought this to fit a 2016 Ram 2500 which has a receiver inside of a receiver which prevents the part from being as effective as it could have been.

This eliminated the rattle between ball mount and receiver. I bought a second one for my other tow vehicle. One of my receivers had extra weld on the bottom but this device still worked great. One of these was left on for over a year. There was some corrosion but devise is still functional. One of these is on a 8 inch drop ball mount pulling a 7000 lb trailer.

I ended up using a 7-1/2 inch Roadmaster extender along with a Roadmaster 4" Hi-Lo adapter to tow our Jeep with our motorhome. I used 3 of the quiet hitch brackets to stabilize the extensions and tow bar. We towed for the first time this weekend for about a 170 mile round trip. The Jeep tracked perfectly behind the motorhome. I had to make several hard stops due to lights changing and cars pulling into traffic unexpectedly. There was absolutely no noise or hitch bounce. They are easily installed. I highly recommend this product.

Recent purchase of a Pro Series Cargo Carrier 63153. Assembly of the carrier was very straight forward but when installed into the 2" receiver, there was too much play at the receiver for my liking. Jonathan at etrailer recommended the RM-061 Quiet Hitch and got it to me while away on a trip. Installation was easy and it completely eliminated all the play. Now the cargo carrier acts like it is part of the truck, not and add on, a perfect solution!!

I can't believe something this simple works so well. I've battled a rattling hitch for years. I've tried cutting metal shims, drilling and bolting the hitch in the receiver and even thought about welding (that was quickly dismissed). This thing works. It simply works. Easy to put on and take off, which is important as I only tow about 6 times a year. It's great because you can use it on almost any hitch too.
Comments
Its been a year and I would buy this product again...and again. It has worked flawlessly. It has been on my truck all but 3 months this year 2019 and Ive towed about a dozen times. Said it before, its simple but it works.

We have a small pop up camper on our 4WD truck, We fabricated a top step using a plate(step tread) welded on a draw bar. The step moved slightly because the draw bar was not secure. The Roadmaster "Quiet Hitch" removed all the "wiggle" in the step and has removed the extra movement out of our tow hitch ( we tow a Suzucki Samurai).

Thanks for for following up . Quiet Hitch QH is continuing to work out great.

The only trailer I usually tow is our Scout Troop trailer. There was much noise when I hit bumps due to the play with the hit. It scared me the first time I was towing. This product stopped the play and that awful noise is no more.

Attached a cargo carrier to my 2014 Wrangler JK 2dr's Hidden Hitch part 87424 with the Tow Ready J-Pin, but it didn't quite take all of the sway and rattle out vertically. Added the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch tightened to the recommended 23 ft lbs and we are good to go - the cargo carrier feels almost welded on back there.... Excellent product, couldn't be happier with it.

THIS SIMPLE, INEXPENSIVE DEVICE WORKS EXACTLY AS INTENDED. IT STOPS THE MOVEMENT OF THE HITCH IN THE RECEIVER WHICH PREVENTS DAMAGE/ELONGATION OF THE HITCH PIN HOLE. I WIPED OUT THE RECEIVER ON MY LAST TRUCK BUT AFTER 2 YEARS WITH THIS DEVICE, MY NEW ONE IS STILL LIKE NEW. IT ALSO HELPS A LITTLE AS AN ANTI THEFT DEVICE.

Ask the Experts about this Roadmaster Hitch Anti-Rattle
- Can I Use an Anti-Rattle Clamp When Towing a Trailer?This can be frustrating, but I have a solution for you. If your hitch has a lip or collar around the opening, the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 is going to be perfect for you. You can use this clamp when towing a load, carrying a bike rack and also when you don't have anything attached to your ball mount. If your hitch doesn't have a lip or collar around the opening, I recommend going with the Pro Series Anti-Rattle Device for 2" Hitches # PS63091 . This will slip on to your ball...
view full answer... - Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for Kuat TransferFor your Kuat Transfer # TS02B the anti-rattle device/hitch lock you'd want is the part # HLT. This replaces the hitch pin you have with a threaded one that holds the hitch tight to the hitch tube and also locks it there. A u-bolt style of anti-rattle device would not be your best option.

The great thing about this device is that you will be able to use whatever hitch pin that you want to. Since it secures the shank on the outside it will work just fine with your cushioned shank. If you are wanting to use the Quiet Hitch with a J-Pin, like part # 63201, then it can...

- What are the Torque Specs for Roadmaster Quiet Hitch Anti-Rattle DeviceI checked with Roadmaster about the Quiet Hitch # RM-061. First, you would torque both of the first nuts to 23 foot pounds. Then hold those nuts in place with a wrench and torque the jam nuts to 23 foot pounds as well.

Because it will not be supporting really any weight during towing, there simply isn't a listed weight limit. With that being said, the unit should have no issue supporting any initial weight that might be temporarily applied when setting up your weight distribution system. As you mentioned, when using this device with a weight distribution system, you will want to position the U-bolt...
view full answer... - Anti-Rattle Device Needed for Use with a Weight Distribution SystemI really like the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch which is part # RM-061 for a 2" shank or part # RM-062 for a 2-1/2" shank. This requires that your hitch receiver have a lip on it (most do) which it uses to put pressure on the shank of your weight distribution system. I have attached a review video for you to check out.

- Can Anti-Rattle Device Be Used with Weight Distribution With the amount of spring bar force at work with your E2 weight distribution it is surprising that you are experiencing any type of movement in your hitch. The spring bars should be placing a substantial amount of tension on the shank against the walls of the receiver, thus keeping it firmly in place. That being said a # RM-061 could be used on the shank of your system and would help reduce movement.

- Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for a 2012 Toyota 4Runner Factory HitchI have a solution for you, but based on the picture you submitted of the hitch you have on your 2012 Toyota 4Runner (thank you for that by the way), the part # RM-061 would not work well for you.

- Recommended Anti-Rattle Device to Use with 2-Bike Rack Based on my research, it looks like your TransIt Flatbed 2DLX 2-Bike Rack uses a threaded hitch pin which would be unique to the shank on the carrier. Because of this, we wouldn't be able to use a replacement anti-rattle pin/bolt because it will not be compatible with the threads on the shank.

If you have a limited amount of clearance between the bumper on your 2013 Ford F-150 Platinum and the top of your hitch receiver then you can actually install the Quiet Hitch upside down so that the thicker material is on the underside.

It pulls the shank of the ball mount or other accessory against the receiver to keep the ball mount from bouncing around. This device should not be used when towing a trailer. It was not designed to support the tongue weight of a trailer and could be damaged if too much force is exerted on the device.

- Recommended Anti-Rattle Device for Towing a Travel TrailerThe Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 will work for your 5,000 pound travel trailer. As long as your trailer hitch receiver has a collar around it. The Quiet Hitch doesn't have a weight rating and is used in a variety of applications with much success. If your hitch doesn't have a collar another option is the Blue Ox Immobilizer II # BX88224. It's a different design of anti-rattle that is very effective. I've linked videos of both products for you.
