How to Reduce Movement of Bike Rack With Swing Away Hitch Extender Being Used
Question:
Hi. I have a kuat v2 swing away connected to a 1upbike rack. With the addition of the swing away, my rack loaded with bikes would swing forward and back with every bump on the road. Without the swing away, my 1up rack is pretty solid. Do you have any suggestions on how to precent the sway with my swing arm?

When using the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender # PVP20B even having the built in anti-rattle you can still get some play with all the joints and pivot points on the rack. You can add the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap # 18050 to help put tension on the bike rack when loaded and reduce the amount the bike rack moves as you drive down the road.
