5Gen hitch
I added a hitch to tow a uhaul. It tightened up the rear. Much more netural steering, less understeer, and much tighter around the corners.
I was surprised of how much of a difference it made in the steering. Its almost what I read about rear strut bars...

My guess is that the hitch stiffened the back end. The hitch bolts on to the frame of the car in several places.
Its a class 1 hitch for 2000lb towing. My 5th gen prelude is a hauling machine
