Friction-style sway control system uses a telescoping bar with friction pads to fight trailer sway. Adjustable tension lets you set the right amount of resistance for your setup. Attaches to your trailer and weight distribution system or ball mount.
Features:
Note: Not for use on trailers with surge brakes. It is recommended that you remove this sway control unit before backing up/reversing and before towing in slippery conditions such as on wet, icy, gravel, or snow-covered roads.
When installing this sway control system, follow the included instructions and measure 24" straight back from the center of the coupler along the frame of the trailer to determine the location of the spacer plate and trailer-mounted attachment ball. To achieve proper alignment, the spacer plate may not be necessary in every application.
One friction-style sway control can be used for trailers with up to 6,000-lb GTW. If your trailer's GTW is between 6,000 lbs and 10,000 lbs, you will need 2 sway-control units, 1 on either side of the trailer. You will also want to use 2 units if your trailer is 26' or longer.

I purchased a Curt sway bar kit for my camper and have had great success with it. I have purchased items from etrailer in the past and always had great service. I will continue to order from them in the future and recommend to my friends and family. 641033
I never thought I needed a weight disturbing hitch cause I had a 3/4 ton truck. I never realized how unsafe it was before. Stress free driving now. 448978
Easy to install. I had to do a little welding, but nothing that I did not expect having read a lot about the product. It is definitely well made and I look forward to trying it out with weight on the trailer. I bought this a snowmobile trailer having had issues on the highway when a Tractor Trailer passes me. 585773
took the sway right out of my custom tag along trailer! 352380
We are pulling a 3800 lbs travel trailer with a 2014 Acura MDX. The sway control has made a world of a difference. You can barely feel the crosswinds and a semi truck passing by causes only minor side motion. Highly recommend this product. 291978
Bought this to use while pulling my 27 foot camper with my Chevy Tahoe on the interstate. Made all the difference in the world and is the best money out side of weight distribution bars I have spent on the camper. I will add I did recently spend the money to upgrade to a dual cam type weight and sway control system, but had I not wanted to spend the big bucks, this little guy does all you need. Giving it to my dad this weekend for an upcoming camping trip to Verona Va... 418238

Rather than trying to fabricate new mounts, the ball plate can be welded on. A certified welder can complete the task and you will have the ball solidly mounted without risking the trailer frame and losing the sway control bar. The only downside of course, is that it won' be easy to remove if you decide you don't want the ball on the frame any more.

Patrick B - 11/12/2013The anti sway bar works well and well worth buying and installing. There are 3 things I would say about it. 1. It has a 4 bolt mounting plate instead of 6. Disadvantage: poorer force distribution, Advantage: less drilled holes to weaken frame. 2.Could use better instructions on how to set it. It really is quite useless if you set it too loose. 3. Watch out for the front clip. Mine came off but the sway bar stayed attached (that's a good thing). I put a safety wire around the safety clip now. 481919
Curt Weight distribution hitch assembly including dual Curt 17200 sway control bars for our heavy 30 foot RV. Purchased through Etrailer Corp. the information from Etrailer was fantastic on which hitch assembly was best for my application, the hitch, bars, sway arms were delivered exactly on time with no scratches or damage. My light weight 2010 pick pulled well and was level and handled winds and passing semi trucks in the wind a pleasure! Unfortunately I don't have pictures to show because I have recently bought a new F-350 and a new 40' -5th wheel trailer and from Etrailer purchased a Demco 18K Hijacker Auto Slide 5th wheel Hitch that works fantastically. Thank you Etrailer for best prices and service! 373934
Install was easy and it arrived sooner than anticipated. 350241
17200 - 03/11/2018The sway control kit I ordered went on the receiver of my travel trailer easily and fits well. I tested the turn radius to see how sharp of a turn it would make without "hitting" and it performed perfectly. I haven't had the chance to take it on the road yet but don't anticipate any problems. 485830

Wonderful service!! We would not hesitate to order from this company again. 882387
Good product delivered on time 877170
Everything came packaged nicely and I added it to the trailer with no issues. I can't wait to test it out on a windy day. 869559
We have had one of these devices from another manufacturer. We were sold on the Curt system by a trailer company and have been very happy with the whole thing! 868947
I wouldn't tow without it! Our 23 foot camper no longer sways when being passed by a tractor trailer, and it just feels more secure. Several thousand miles later it still works great! 868818
etrailer is the place to buy trailer and towing equipment. They know the products and have good prices. Maybe I could save money some where else but would not be worth it. Love etrailer service and help. 867279

Everything was great worked great and fast delivery 854334
etrailer got my order out and to me FAST! These are great sway controls, just as described, and came with good instructions. Pretty simple and fast to install. 853112
The unit definitely eliminated most if not all of the sway. My only issue is with the clips used to hold the unit into the ball. They’re not strong enough. One fell off on our trip and the unit came off the ball (vey dangerous). And the specific clips so you can’t get them at a hardware store. 837135

As advertised, easy install. 815977
