Default 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

wow! what an interesting find! i guess one could put on the hitch but cut off the part that sticks out for less cosmetic damage...as in my case, i dont tow anything. does your car have ATTS?

no. I have a stock 5th gen.

The hitch is just a side benefit. Get a rear strut their so cheap these days.
