To secure the bike rack to the trailer hitch I'm using Draw-Tite J-Pin Anti-Rattle Lockset for 2 inch Receivers. Currently around $26.
Bingo, RV.net comes through again. This is exactly what I wished that I had for silencing my trailer hitch.
My bike rack came with a hitch pin like this that secures it with a nut within the bike rack that the pin screws into for silent running. However, when I use the regular trailer hitch with just a plain pin, the noise drives me up the wall especially when there isn't much tongue weight. I need this more for my SUV then the LTV since I more often pull a small utility trailer with it.
I never realized something was on the market for the more generic use. I just ordered one from Amazon. Thank you WVvan.
