Keep your Arvika bike rack secure and fully functional with this genuine replacement Female Hand/Star Nut (part AVKP0923F). Designed specifically for Arvika bike rack systems, this knob-style fastener lets you tighten or release rack components by hand -- no tools required. Whether you are replacing a worn or lost nut or stocking a spare for the road, this is the correct OEM-matched part.
Arvika bike racks are a popular choice among RV owners and campers who need a reliable, hitch-mounted carrier for bicycles on the road. Over time, the hand-tightening nuts that secure rack arms, stanchions, and adjustment points can wear, strip, or go missing during assembly and disassembly. The AVKP0923F is the factory-correct female hand nut -- sometimes called a star nut or wing nut -- used across Arvika's bike rack lineup.
Because Arvika racks are manufactured in Canada and use metric-compatible proprietary hardware, using a generic substitute risks poor fitment and inadequate clamping force. This is the right part, sourced directly from Arvika.
Hand-tightening profile allows quick adjustments at the campsite or trailhead with no wrenches needed.
Designed specifically for Arvika rack systems to ensure correct thread engagement and clamping performance.
Manufactured to Arvika's quality standards with materials suited for outdoor and road-use conditions.
Built to withstand repeated tightening cycles, vibration, and weather exposure typical of RV travel.
The female hand/star nut threads onto a corresponding male bolt or threaded stud on the Arvika rack frame. Tightening it by hand clamps rack components -- such as arm assemblies, tilt mechanisms, or wheel holders -- into their correct positions. The star or wing profile provides enough grip surface to achieve adequate torque without tools under most conditions.
Thread the female nut onto the corresponding male stud by hand, turning clockwise to tighten. Apply firm hand pressure to seat the nut fully. Do not use a wrench or pliers on the hand-nut profile, as over-torquing can crack the nut body. If the rack component requires higher clamping force, confirm the correct part is installed and inspect the mating stud for wear.
