Review on WOFTD Hitch Tightener: Reduce Movement for 1.25" and 2" Hitches, Easy Installation, Rust-Free Heavy Duty, Anti-Rattle - Ideal for Hitch Trays and Cargo Carriers by Wayne Girard

The mount worked well to stop traffic/noise, but it touched the ground at every bump. I thought the strut hit the ground, but after riding it I discovered that it was actually the U-bolt that hit the ground. I was unable to undo the nuts to remove the bracket as the bolts were bent (see photo). I had to cut it off to take it off. I used it on a 1 1/4" to 2" adapter to attach a luggage rack to my Ford Fusion. Obviously, the Fusion isn't designed for towing and doesn't have much ground clearance. Because the U-bolt has long threaded sections to allow the mount to work on different size hitches, they pressed the ground when passing speed bumps and exiting a parking lot with angled aprons. The bolt is just behind the nuts that hold it so it doesn't touch the ground.
