LX600 anti rattle

[bucko89]

Hi y’all

Im wondering if anyone has any experience stabilizing a hitch rack installed in a 2023 LX600, I’ve tried several anti rattle stabilizers and haven’t found one that works. The rack itself (khyber rack 6-bike) has an inner anti rattle nut but it’s not enough, specially when the rack is loaded. I’ve found that the main issue is the device length, even though the receiver is listed as as 2”, the outside structure requires something bigger, for example the installed pin is for a 2.5”hitch. I’m getting tired of having to use straps to hold it, I barely ever use the trunk.

Thanks in advance

I've had zero issues with rattle with my 1-UP rack.

I imagine that it's like just an issue of the anti-rattle design of the Khyber rack itself and has nothing to do with the LX's receiver hitch.

Maybe something like this

This might work: Stabilizer System | ALTA Racks - https://www.altaracks.com/stabilizer-system/

I have one of those and find that it’s not well suited to an LC200 hitch. Your mileage may vary on a 300 series.

I inserted and just taped a couple of small aluminum sheets on the hitch draw bar. no more rattles

Well this clamp that came with the rack didnt really work. Gets a little bouncy once you leave to the pavement to get to the trailhead.

Did anyone try that one from Northern Tool I linked above?
