    I have purchased 4 so far. The first one was defective and the nut seized in the u-bolt. The company replaced the unit immediately. I was so impressed with the service I bought another and another. The secret is to put a small amount of lubricant on the threads before mounting it.
    All parts powder coated or Stainless Steel.
    Nice.

    Very sturdy

    I have a Subaru with a 1.5 inch trailer hitch. I just bought a mountain bike rack that needs a 2 inch hitch so I bought the adapter. However, it is not a very tight fit and there was no way to tighten the connection. This product was easy to install and works great! The two bolts hold the adapter very well. It takes just a minute to install and tighten with a wrench.

    We have a stow a way and really like how the hitch stabilizer stops the wobble. We recently bought a swing a way bike rack too and purchased an additional stabilizer for it since we have a front hitch mount on our Tahoe and can carry both the Stow a Way and the bike rack. Great product.
