If I want to reduce both up/down and left/right give on the hitch connector should (and can) I use 2 of these on a single hitch connection?

Yes, I have several for this purpose- when putting a 200 cc dirt bike on a rail. It works great!
1978644
Installed only one and it cured my problem. I no longer had movement in either direction.
1978645
Use of only 1 of this item will stop all movement on your hitch. Once installed, whatever is mounted on the hitch is held solidly in place.

I don't see how you could use two on the sae hitch, however I believe that one tightened down will solve your problem.
1978647
Only one is needed per hitch receiver unless you are using two receivers , what I mean by that is on my van I use an extender( to clear my bumper and spare tire) and then I hook up a hitch carrier to the extender and use one on that, so I use two hitch tighteners because I'm tightening the extender and a carrier. If your attaching a trailer or hitch carrier directly to your hitch receiver you only need one. They work very well for eliminating any wobble( up/down and left/ right). I hope this helps.

I doubt you could use two these because they would probably overlap when used that close to each other.....but I also think you should have no need to,because this simple design will locks up,down,right and left. Hope That helps.

Reviewing my hitch, one works great and stops all movement. On my hitch, two would not fit due to the diameter of the U-bolt.
1978650
I would not use 2 as you suggest. Once you get it really tightened down, it's not going to move laterally with any freedom.

I suppose that is possible but my experience with this device would seem to indicate that it is unnecessary . This device works quite well.

I have used it in two positions. It is a friction fit against the ball support and works well to stop slop. Clearance is tight with the middle hole. This is a great hitch. I just wish I would quit wacking it with my shin!

No, there is two different part numbers for up and down stream. Best way is to look it up on part store website, then match up the part numbers here. That's what I did.

The poly adaptor goes on the hitch end with the open side out on the side where the bolt pin but is exposed so the bolt pin can go through to screw in and tighten up the hitch adaptor. If you need the adaptor. Depends on your hitch size. Tighten the bolt nice and snug with the pin nut is with the hole exposed so you can put the safety pin in

David, As the previous answer stated; the spring you want for the right side facing outward is the 7682. If your door has two springs, you may want to consider replacing them as a matched pair. Wind them up equally for balanced lifting. You may want to replace your cables at the same time, they are inexpensive; and if you are handy can be easily replaced and adjusted. Be safe, and good luck.

I know they make adaptors to go from 1 1/4 into a 2 but not sure about the other way for safety reasons. A 1 1/4 hitch receiver less of a weight rating. Remember you'll have nearly five hundred pounds of bikes on the rack plus the weight of the rack. Adaptors are just adding another point for failure. Hope this helped.

Yes, you use a standard pin that are used on most all hitches. The bolt you see gets tightened so the bike rack or whatever you are mounting does not move to much from side to side. The bolt holds the rack firmly in place.

No. My 3 point hitch has stabilizers as part of it, so any further stabilizers are unnecessary. If it were necessary, it would be quite easy to fashion a stabilizer out or rod stock.

You don't need two, one clamp will make up a single 90 degree joint. Be careful about tightening them too much, mine stripped out the threads rather easily.

If I recall correctly the curt hitch rides lower then the OEM hitch. They would interfere the each other.

There is a 2 1/2" off set from the top of the hitch to the bottom of the basket. This can be turned to where the off set is turned up to where the basket is higher or turned down to where the basket is lower.
2188403
You can use either or both. The harness should be fit tight enough that this wouldn't be an issue.

Sorry I don't know. But when I tow the hitch should be as level as possible.

i dont fully understand your question in both directions it ids designed to pick up the front of a camper i have 2 campers that i put these on and they work quite well it is so easy put the wife by the hitch and the switch she can jack it up or down with no problems it is such a timesaver less trips out of the pulling vehicle to adjust the hitch height. i would buy them again

If you are running a dogbone style line with a loop on each end then yes you will need two. If its a single line back and forth (direction doesnot matter) then you will need auto reversing track.

This is a two switch minimum. If you do only one it will have an uneven side. If you want only one switch there's other options or just put in the second switch in case you ever need it a a place holder. I installed three but only use two.

You should be able to use two. You would have to have a welder weld the little balls on both sides of a hitch
