That constant clunking and swaying from a loose hitch shank is more than annoying -- it wears on your receiver, your accessories, and your patience. The Curt 22315 anti-rattle kit pulls the shank firmly against the inside wall of the receiver tube, eliminating the play that causes rattle and lateral sway. Simple to install, low-profile design, and built for daily use with bike racks, cargo carriers, and ball mounts on 1-1/4" hollow-shank accessories.
Hitch shank rattle is a common frustration for RV owners and truck drivers alike. The tolerance gap between a shank and receiver -- even on a properly fitted 1-1/4" setup -- allows enough movement to create noise, vibration, and gradual wear on both the shank and receiver walls. The Curt 22315 is engineered to close that gap without modification to your hitch or accessories.
The kit uses a bolt-and-nut clamping mechanism that draws the shank tight against one side of the receiver tube. The low-profile hardware sits flush enough to avoid interference with most standard installations. Because it works with the existing hitch pin hole on the shank, no drilling or permanent modification is required.
Pulls the hollow shank against the receiver wall, removing the play that causes noise and load movement while driving.
Compact hardware stays out of the way and avoids interference with standard shank lengths and receiver skirts.
Corrosion-resistant yellow zinc coating holds up to weather exposure and road spray for lasting durability.
Works with existing hitch pin holes on hollow shanks. No drilling required. Installs and removes by hand with basic tools.
Unlike a standard hitch pin that simply passes through the receiver and shank to prevent pull-out, the Curt anti-rattle kit applies lateral tension. The bolt threads through the shank's hollow interior and tightens against the receiver tube wall, effectively wedging the shank in place. This eliminates the side-to-side and up-and-down slop that standard hitch pins cannot address on their own.
Installation is straightforward: insert your bike rack, cargo carrier, or ball mount shank into the receiver as normal, then thread the anti-rattle bolt through the designated hole in the shank and tighten the nut until snug. No special tools are required beyond a basic wrench.
This kit is designed for any 1-1/4" hollow-shank accessory that inserts into a standard 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver tube, including:
