Tow Hitch Locking Pin (R-Clip) is the spring-steel retaining clip that secures the tow pin in an adjustable tow hitch. It pushes through the hole in the pin and springs closed to lock it, preventing the pin from vibrating out under towing loads.

The R-clip is fitted and removed by hand for quick coupling and uncoupling of the hitch.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Tow Hitch Locking Pin R-Clip (DA2197) for?
The R-Clip is the spring-steel retaining clip that secures the tow pin in an adjustable tow hitch. It pushes through the hole in the pin and springs closed, stopping the pin vibrating out under towing loads.
How many R-clips do I need?
Typically one R-clip retains a single tow pin in the hitch. It's fitted and removed by hand, so quick coupling and uncoupling of the tow hitch doesn't need any tools.
Can the R-clip be reused or should it be replaced?
The R-clip can typically be reused if it still springs firmly closed. Replace it if the spring steel looks splayed or has lost tension, since a weak clip can let the tow pin work loose under load.
