CURT Threaded Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin for Bike Racks — Model 19290, Fits 18020/18021/18030/18064/18065, Includes Clip & Hardware

CURT 19290 is a threaded anti-rattle hitch pin kit made to secure compatible CURT bike racks and reduce movement, vibration, and noise between the rack shank and the vehicle receiver.

When a bike rack wiggles in the hitch receiver it can create irritating noises, accelerate wear, and make the load feel less stable. The CURT 19290 replacement pin is engineered specifically for CURT bike rack models 18020, 18021, 18030, 18064 and 18065 and uses a threaded tightening design to clamp the rack shank inside the receiver tube. This listing includes the anti-rattle pin, the mating clip and necessary hardware only; the bike rack and hitch are not included.

How does the CURT 19290 reduce rattling and noise?

The pin features a threaded body that lets you snug the pin with a wrench, drawing the pin head and the included hardware tight against the rack shank and receiver walls. By removing play between components it reduces the micro-movement that produces rattle and vibration while driving.

• Threaded tightening allows precise clamping force for less movement.
• Designed to interface with specific CURT bike rack shanks for correct fitment.
• Includes clip and hardware to lock the assembly in place once adjusted.

Will this pin fit my bike rack and hitch receiver?

This part is a direct replacement for CURT bike rack models 18020, 18021, 18030, 18064 and 18065—verify your rack model before purchasing. It is not a universal pin and may not work with other manufacturers’ racks or non-matching shank dimensions.

• Confirm your rack part number matches one of the supported models.
• Check your receiver tube size and shank shape for compatibility.
• Does not replace the entire rack or hitch—only the anti-rattle pin assembly.

How do I install the replacement anti-rattle pin?

Installation is straightforward: slide the bike rack shank into the receiver, insert the threaded pin through the receiver and shank, then tighten the pin with a wrench until the rack is held firmly. Finish by attaching the supplied clip or lock hardware to secure the pin and prevent accidental loosening during travel.

• Insert pin fully through the aligned holes in receiver and shank.
• Tighten with a wrench until movement is eliminated but not over-torqued.
• Attach included clip to retain the pin; consider a hitch lock for added security.

What materials and durability can I expect from this replacement part?

The CURT 19290 pin is made to withstand the stresses of trailering and regular use; its threaded design spreads load and resists loosening from road vibration. While built for durability, routine inspection and proper torque during installation help maintain long-term performance.

• Durable metal construction designed for trailer and rack environments.
• Threaded fastener design resists vibrational back-out better than plain pins.
• Inspect hardware periodically and replace if signs of wear appear.

Who is this for: This replacement anti-rattle pin is intended for vehicle owners who already own a compatible CURT bike rack and need to replace a worn, lost, or noisy hitch pin. It’s ideal for riders who want a quieter, more secure connection between rack and receiver without replacing the whole rack. If you have one of the listed CURT rack models and are seeking a direct-fit replacement pin with a threaded tightening feature, this kit provides the specific hardware required to restore a snug, reliable connection.
