the hitch wobbles sideways in 1-1/4inch hitch receiver. the bolt has a lock and does not go all the way in. is it by design ?

Yes, its by design. The lock is supposed to stay on the outside and essentially stop the wobble as you tighten the bolt. So tighten the bolt, let the lock stay on the outside as it will basically resolve the wobble perfectly for you. All you'll have is a slight amount of back/forward movement once you've locked it in place. I cant remember exactly but I think you need to use the middle hole so it doesnt allow the lock to slide inside.

Yes, I have it on the 2inch receiver and it does not go all the way but it tightened enough, it does not wobble. Try putting the bolt in from the other side. Maybe that will help.

My bike rack does not wobble however we had trouble getting the bolt all the way in too so it is in as far as we could get it

The collar on the bolt should go through the hole in the receiver. The collar serves to push the rack against the side of the receiver. Thus eliminating the wobble. Mine has no wobble what so ever.

Extending the shank might adversly effect the weight distribution and sway control of the hitch. I would recommend contacting the engineers at Andersen. You are changing factory specs, so better check first

The answer is no. The hitch is bolted to the shank. I purchased one of these & very satisfied.

There is some lean from side to side but I have mine behind a 4 wheeler. I eliminated any lean at all by using a ratchet strap on each side of the receiver attaching it to rack on both sides.

Sorry, have no idea. It just needs to have a long enough shaft to slip over and to tighten locking nut. Be sure nut is very tight because trailer load can cause nut to ship and slipthe hitch.

The insert is threaded so the bolt tightens up the receiver so it doesn't wobble. So no, it wouldn't work in your situation.

Fits my 2 inch receiver tightly so it will go in your receiver but will be loose. Probably more dependent on pin for support than sides of receiver. Hitch has two holes for pin.Hope this helps.

If it is mounted properly, it doesn't have much sway, but there is a proper "right side" left side" to attaching the hitch. If you are getting a lot of sway, you may have to reverse the position.

The rack has a plastic spacer allowing it to be used in a full size hitch, the spacer is pulled off for smaller receivers. The bike rack has a threaded hole so a bolt is used to secure the rack into the receiver - reducing the wobble.

Not sure what you are trying to make work, this product will only help if your 2" hitch adapter is loose in the receiver. Do you have a 2" to 1 1/4" adapter?

Yes, I bought this unit for my Geo Tracker which has a 1 1/4 " receiver hitch. Tip...put the unit on a flat surface and do not tighten until assembled.

I didn't use the rack mounted to the hitch ball hole on the bumper as it was designed. It would probably cause a problem with the shell though. I mounted mine to a piece of receiver that I slid into the receiver and that way I could move it away from any obstacles. Its a great rack and like it because of the lock. Good luck!!

It's a .5 bolt. It screws into a threaded block which is inside the hitch arm. The lock fits over the other end.

Mine didn't wobble at all. I got a hitch put on my civic at uhaul. It was such a tight fit I had to scrap the paint off to get it to fit in.

The pin screws into the hitch to hold it steady and there is a safety pin that keeps it from getting loose. Would be hard to add a locking pin. I just run my locking cable through the hitch's safety chain loop so the rack can't be removed easily.

The shank that goes into the receiving hitch is not adjustable (one hole) but the rack itself can be adjusted outward by 6 inches. The listed price is well worth the investment. We drove 3000 mile this summer with absolutely no issues with the carrier.

No. The way it works, you turn the knob at the base till it expands within the hitch receiver making the rack very sturdy. Once it is tight enough, you then use the provided Yakima key to lock the hitch to the hitch receiver. So I just leave my rack on all the time. I actually really like my rack :)
