Today on this 2009 Chevrolet Malibu were gonna do a test fit of part number A30901 from SportRack.
A few things to know about this bike rack is that it will work with 1 -inch receiver
hitches both class 1 and class 2. This will also work with 2-inch receiver hitches with
the included spacer. On this particular vehicle, well be working with a class 2 receiver hitch.
Well start off our test fit by installing the bike rack into the hitch, well tighten
down the anti-rattle bolt and then put safety pin on the other side. Lets go ahead and unfold
the bike rack and get some clearance measurements. Looks like the distance between the bike rack
and the bumper will be 5 inches and ground clearance at the back of the rack will be
12 inches. Lets go ahead and tilt the bike rack back and check access to the trunk. Alright,
well go ahead and lower the center post and check access to the back of the car. Okay, that looks good.
Now we can go ahead and load up a bike.
