I wrapped a few wraps of black electrical tape in front of, and aft of the hole on the square tube and then slid it into the receiver. It makes it a bit hard to install, WD40 helps, but it doesn't rattle. It took very little tape to snug it all up.

what i did to keep it steady was i used a ratchet strap like they use in moving trucks, and hooked one end inside the trunk and ran the other side to the bike rack and tightened it up just enough to where there is tension upward and it seems to work pretty smooth like that.

I know what your talking about! I haven't tried very hard to fix this.Im thinking along the lines of shimming it with really thin strips of metal,but I haven't tried this myself,Im also considering welding a bit ,then grinding it till it fits. Best of luck!

The tires are a solid rubber. You should be able to squeeze them a little. Rubber in my opinion is better than plastic. It is durable and quiet.

Mine has never made any rattling noise. I do not think it is normal. I would have it checked out.

Roy. mine has always made that rattling sound ever since I've owned it for 17 years when you run stock through it. It shouldn't make it if there's (no load) stock running through it. Only thing I've had to change on it for all those years is a blade chuck and believe me I have done a lot of work on it. Hundreds of projects. Hope this helps.Tim

Wheels are hard rubber not pneumatic with tubes. The washers they supply with the cart fit a little loose so it's kinda wobbly. I got some washers at Menards to tighten up the clearances on the axle so it rolls a little quieter. It's still a little noise for my liking especially when I pull it behind my mountain bike.

I've got 6 on my truck. They don't rattle. They have seen a lot of dirt road over the years. They will stay out when pulled out so I'm going to guess that the friction keeps them from rattling.

Mine rattles. I have been trying to troubleshoot but can't quite figure where it is coming from.

Recommend you check with Koolertron and let everyone else know as I haven't had to rotate tires yet. You should have an Amazon option to ask vendor.

I love this product, the tires do stroll on dirt but you have to push a little harder.

Note that the cart is metal. The cart made rattling noises for me because I carried steel and other metal objects on it regularly and the slight vibrations made noticeable noise. It wasn't too loud on smooth surfaces, but when rolling it along concrete it made significantly more noise. If you have trouble with rattling, you could probably cover the racks with cloths or felt to prevent the noise. The cart itself was pretty quiet.

Did you ever find a answer? Trying to figure this out myself, the tires seem to be the weak point!

I love mine and would definitely recommend it. Make sure to install them as close to your frame as possible. I ran over a piece of retread tire this weekend and busted my from led . " Oh the Pain!"

I just used this lock on my spare tire on the mounted on the back of my 1983 Nomad RV since the tire might be an easy steal. The lock covers the lug nut as I recall and seems to protect it from thieves. Of course, a hard hit from a ball pean (spelling?) hammer would probably remove. This keeps casual thieves walking away. Not sure if this helps your situation. Most rim holes are the same.

I just shook mine and there was no rattle. Sorry but I suspect something is amis with yours.

No rattles here. It should not be ratttling... Check to see if some renegade plastic part may have been jarred loose during shipping.

Lock screw in mounting collar on valve stem makes it unlikely that that will unscrew from road vibration. Theft is unlikely since few will even notice that they're there since they are very small.

Also make sure the spacer is tightened well with the allen wrench. It will still bounce some.
