The Thule 955 has been specifically designed to be backwards compatible with previous models of Thule hitch and strap carriers that don't already include anti-sway cables. The Thule 955 system includes a pair of no-sway accessories to prevent up to two bicycles from making contact while you drive. This anti-sway device has been redesigned to be accessible at bike-arm level, and to work especially with Thule T2 cradles. The Thule 955 No Sway Cage accessory is constructed of a length specifically designed for maximum hold and stability, and is removable for easier bike installation. What's in the Box?

Customer Reviews
functional addition to rack
I bought these to use with my Thule Roadway rack, they come 2 per package. I read the review noting the possible frame tube scratches and decided to be pro-active. I used some left over bartape and placed that over the hard plastic where the frame tube rests against. These cages work great to hold the bikes in place. I use the Thule strap that came with the rack to hold the front wheel in position during transport.
It is true that these cages don't lock to the rack so they could be stolen, but at least they are on the lower cost side of Thule's accesories and easy to replace.

Simple and they work.
This is a simple addition to a trailer hitch that really works. The package contains two which is enough for two bikes.

If you have the Thule Spare Tire Bike Rack...
If you have the Spare Tire Rack, as I do for my Jeep Wrangler, the Model 955 "stabilizer" is a must-have. It works perfectly and does what it has to do - keeps the bike from swaying back and forth over any kind of terrain. I would highly recommend it, and it's worth the price.

Works -- but EATS PAINT
We bought a couple of these for our Thule rack. While they do indeed work, they also chew up the paint on the seat tube pretty badly (for non-experts in bike frame anatomy, the seat tube is the vertical part of the bike frame below the seat post). I wish someone had mentioned this to me before I started using mine -- my wife and I chewed through paint and decals on both of our road bikes and mountain bikes before we realized the cause. I would recommend placing some sort of soft but clingy barrier between this accessory and your frame (for example some Grip Liner - 12" x 4' Black Cushioned Shelf Liner by Contact Brand)

Works much better than expected
I had a problem with the front of my mountain bike coming out of the cradle with my 937 rack. I figured it couldn't hurt to buy one of these.
If you follow the directions exactly and make sure the part is firm then it works like it's suppose to. The front of my bike quit moving around.
I've got a hard tail so it works. The part is designed to ride up against the seat tube right where it meets the top tube so if you have a full suspension bike this may or may not work for you depending on the rear suspension design.
