Hi!

Just wanted to get a sanity check before I go on my next ride, we recently switched car and went from a 1.25" hitch to a 2" one, so we added the 2" hitch adapter on our bike rack (thule Apex XT) and while it fits very well and doesn't seem to wobble, there is a weird rubbing noise that we can hear from inside the car any time we go over a bump, seems to be more noticeable on lateral movement, I took a video so that you can hear it, it seems to be coming from the black box at the bottom of the rack, where there is the swinging mechanism to be able to get the rack down so that we can open our trunk.

We never really noticed that noise when using it on our previous car. Any of you have the same rack and could give me some perspective, if this is normal or not?
