Thread: Husky sway control

Sorry it is not what you thought DEPO

When I changed from bias ply to radial tires on the trailer sway got a bit more hairy. It did not sway more but when it started it damped out a lot slower. So I got this handy device. Basically you get a new hitch that has an extra ball for the sway unit and you also drill your trailer and put one on it. 24" was the spec from ball to ball. My only gripe on this unit is the length could be a bit more since you can bottom it on tight radius turns (nothing you would ever do on the road). Other than that it works EXCELLANT! I put it on then went out with the trailer empty. A bit of moves that cause sway later and I had it adjusted to try. Now I also moved the RC back 2 slots (something that helps reduce sway) to change tongue weight vs last outing. So the sway might have been less but I was flying low AND passing trucks and could only feel the trailer pull a small amount and it always just damped out fast.

To use it I pull one pin out and mount it on the trailer, reinserting the pin. Then I take a couple of turns out of the tension and slide it to fit on the trailer end ball. Reset the tension and insert the pin and ready for the road (you could quickly pop it off if needed for a parking lot tight radius move).

Yes I know it is upside down. I go a right hand ball mount and a left hand sway damper (all they had ) You just pull the damper out and flip it over.

The ball mount is the hard thing to find. Valley Industries makes one that is all one piece or I think Drawtite makes on that fits over you existing one.
