Video Transcript for An In-Depth Look at the Replacement Sway Control Tab for Weight Distribution System

Hello, friends and neighbors. Steve here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at this replacement sway control tab for your weight distribution system. Now folks, this will replace the sway control mounting bar for your weight distribution system and it is a well-known application. We highly recommend you get it welded on by a professional, but if you're a DIYer and you know how to weld, go ahead and feel free to tackle it yourself. Now, just in case you're curious, this side over here gets welded on to the ball mount and it does fit the commonly one-on-one quarter inch sway-control little ball there.

Now, as far as some dimensions with this guy, I'm getting four and seven-eighths overall for a length. I was getting right at one and 15 16th of an inch. We can call it two inches if you want, and I was getting about seven-16th so a half inch depending on what you're looking at there. Now the hole again is a five-eighth inch hole. That's kind of a standard size for those little weight distribution balls.

Again, folks, simple weld-on replacement tab. I'm Steven, thanks for watching and have a great day.

Simple tab for adding sway control to a hitch. Keep in mind you need to beable to weld this type of steel or know a welder that can do it properly. etrailer made it simple and cost effective to order.

  • Recommended Friction Sway Control System For Dual Friction Setup
    For the dual friction you are looking for, I recommend adding the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit - Economy - by Draw-Tite, Reese and Hidden Hitch # 83660 to your hitch ball. This adjustable friction sway bar can be added using the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts - Class III and IV # RP26003 or the 1-1/4 inch ball mount bracket # RP26005. It is recommended to pull the cotter pin to disengage this bar when backing up. You can also expand this system by adding another bar...

  • How to Add Sway Control to an E2 E2rb0710 Weight Distribution System
    Hey Neil, thanks for reaching out! According to my research your E2 system just has weight distribution and no sway control so I recommend welding the Tab # 3442 on your weight distribution head and then adding the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 to add that sway control. We have some weight distribution options that include sway control if you'd like to go that route. Just let me know what the GVWR is for your trailer and I'd be more than happy to make a recommendation for you!

  • Options for Sway Control Tab for Ball Mount for Attaching Hitch Ball
    Sounds like you are looking for the mount for the small ball of your friction sway control unit. You have a couple options like the part # D320 which is a ball mount that has the mounting tab attached to the side of the ball mount platform. We have the # 3442 which allows you to weld a tab onto your current ball mount, or we have the # RP26003 which fits between the ball mount platform and the hitch ball.

  • Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2009 Audi Q7
    If your 2009 Audi Q7 does not have a factory trailer connector at the rear of the vehicle then you will need to install both the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit part # 119250KIT and the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7 in order for a brake controller to work. Trailer brake controllers are universal and can be adapted to fit any vehicle with the correct wiring harness. The correct wiring...

  • Ball Mount Recommendation with 4 inches of Drop and Platform Thickness of 3/4 inch
    What you want is the Draw Tite ball mount part # DT40201. This ball mount has a 4 inch drop and has a ball mount platform thickness of 3/4 inches. For a 2 inch ball you'd want the part # A-90 or for 2-5/16 inch you'd want part # 19286.

  • Will Friction Sway Control Bar be Effective for 27 Foot Trailer Pulled by Ram 3500
    Adding a simple friction sway control bar is a great idea for when you are traveling down the highway; it will make towing your trailer in crosswinds less of a white-knuckle situation. Since you mentioned a 27 foot trailer it is recommended that you use two of the Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 for optimum stability; a pair of these kits is going to give you the best amount of sway control. Using just one kit on a 27 foot trailer like your Coleman won't be quite enough. To use two...

  • How Does a Second Friction Sway Control Unit Get Installed on a Trailer
    You are correct, adding a second sway control bar, like the Curt Friction Style Sway Control, # 17200, is recommended for trailers over 26 feet long. You will need to use the weld-on friction sway control tab # C45822 or # 3442. It will get welded to the side of the ball mount. Welding should be performed by a qualified professional welder. Once welded on it will look like ball mount # D320 except the tab will be welded to the other side (since the plate you are using is occupying...

  • How Many Friction Sway Control Units Should Sonic Venture SN231VRK Use
    The exterior length of your Sonic Venture SN231VRK is 26-1/2 feet which is just over the length where a second friction sway control system is recommended of 26 feet. So your best option would be to install a second # 83660. Typically, to add a second sway-control bracket to their WD hitch, the Draw-Tite Sway Control Tab, part # 3442 is welded on to the head of the system, giving an additional mount for the sway control ball. You'd then remove the inner section of the # 83660, rotate...

  • Solution for Using Sway Control When Ball Mounts with Tab Don't have Correct Rise/Drop
    Hey Nicolle, in a situation like this where the ball mount options available don't have a sway control tab bracket on the side of them what you would need to do is weld on a bracket like with the part # 3442 to a ball mount that does have the correct rise/drop like it sounds like you have currently.

  • Is There A 4" Drop Or Rise Ball Mount With A Sway Control Tab?
    Hi Tim! I do have a couple options for you, but Curt currently does not offer the Ball Mount w/ Sway Control Tab # D320 with a 4" drop or rise. I couldn't find one from other manufacturers either. What you will need to use is either the # 3442 and have it welded on, or use the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts # RP26003 (which is what I would do as it is a lot easier). Either of these could then be paired with the Curt Dual Length Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 4-1/2" Rise, 5-3/4"...

  • Is There a Way to Use Friction Sway Control with a Ball Mount that Fits a 2-1/2 inch Hitch
    Since vehicles that have 2-1/2 inch hitches don't normally use friction sway control as it's not normally needed there aren't any brackets for the smaller balls of the units that are setup for that hitch size but I do have a solution Mehdi. What you would want is the weld on bracket part # 3442 which you would need to have welded to the side of your ball mount and you'd be able to use a friction sway control.

  • Recommended Sway Control for Towing with a 2018 Audi Q7
    To add sway control to your 2018 Audi Q7 towing setup I highly recommend the Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control # 335TSC-1000. I really like this unit because it activates the brakes on your trailer (per side as needed) when it senses the trailer start to sway. Not full-on braking, but light stops so it brings the trailer back under control. This is a higher-end setup but it does install permanently on the trailer and comes with an easy-to-read troubleshooting light in case any of the wiring...

  • How is Draw-Tite 3442 Sway Control Tab Attached to Ball Mount
    The # 3442 replacement sway control tab would be welded onto the side of a ball mount, and the 1-1/4 inch diameter trailer ball would mount in the 5/8 inch diameter hole in the tab. If a ball mount with a 3/4 inch rise or a 2 inch drop would work, Curt offers the # D320 with the tab already welded in place.

  • Recommended Sway Control for Neo V-Nose Enclosed Trailer 26 Feet Long
    For your NEO NMS2685TR with the enclosed V-nose, the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 is the best option. Because of the length of your trailer, two are recommended. You can use the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts # RP26003 for one side and you will need to weld a tab like # 3442 onto the other side of your ball mount. I've attached some videos and an article to further assist.

  • Installing Two Anti-Sway Bars On A Standard Ball Mount.
    For your Reese Friction Sway Control Kit - Economy - by Draw-Tite, Reese and Hidden Hitch, # 83660, you can use a ball mount in the rise or drop position without any trouble. It sounds like you are using a 4 inch rise position, like the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 4" Rise, 6" Drop - 9-1/4" Long - 7,500 lbs, # C45070. To use one of your sway bars, you would need the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts - Class III and IV, # RP26003, but for two you will need the weld on tabs...

  • Recommended Sway Bar for 28 to 35 Foot Camper
    For a sway bar that will work nicely on the camper you are looking to purchase I recommend the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660. Since your camper will be longer than 26 feet it is recommended to use two friction sway control bars so you will want to order two of these kits. This unit uses tension/friction to fight against trailer sway that is caused by winds, winding roads, or sudden maneuvers. It simply attaches to either side of the trailer tongue and the ball mount on your...

  • Is There Difference Between Weld On and Bolt On Style of Sway Control Bracket for Friction SC
    The only difference would be the install of the part # RP26003 or a weld on bracket part # 3442. Aside from that they function the same. With the weld on bracket you'll have to find a welder to do the work, but the added thickness of the # RP26003 might create the need for a taller shank hitch ball.

  • Adjustable Ball Mount that Can be Used with Friction Sway Control
    You can use sway control only with an adjustable ball mount in one of two ways. First, you could use sway control bracket # RP26003 which will fit a ball mount platform up to 2.610 inches wide. It also has a 1 inch diameter hitch ball hole. The other option is to weld on a sway control bracket # 3442. Welding should be performed by a qualified professional welder. For an adjustable ball mount that already has a sway control portion on it we have # 7390. It is rated for 6,000 pounds gross...

  • Can RP26003 Sway Control Plate Be Used on Left Side of Ball Mount
    I do have an option that will allow you to use a sway control bar on the left side of a ball mount, however, the Reese Sway Control adapter plate # RP26003 is designed to be used on the right side only. To be used on the left side, this plate would have to be turned upside down and the lip on the bottom of the plate would not allow the hitch ball to be completely tightened to the plate and the lip would interfere with the operation of the sway control bar. To use a sway control bar on...

  • Can Friction Sway Control Be Installed on Driver Side of Trailer
    You can pretty easily install a friction sway control system on the driver side of a trailer. You would just need to remove the inner piece of the system like part # 83660 and then rotate it 180 degrees and reinsert it into the outer piece. You would then need the part # 3442 to weld onto the driver side of your ball mount.

  • Ball Mount Options that Have Sway Control Ball Mounting Tab
    Some draw bars will have the sway bar ball attachment mounted to the side of the ball mount platform like the Curt Ball Mount part # D320. Other options include using an adapter like part # RP26003 which fits on top of the platform between it and the hitch ball. Or you can have the tab welded to the side of the platform with part # 3442. We also have an adjustable ball mount part # 7390 which allows for various drop/rise settings and has the platform for the sway control ball. With any...

  • Availability of Left Hand Friction Sway Control Bar
    Since friction sway control bars, like the Reese # 83660, already fit both left and right side manufacturers have not created one that is specifically for the left hand side. You will need to have another Sway Control Tab # 3442 professionally welded onto the Weight Distribution (WD) hitch head that you currently have. As far as replacing the current one that you have, it really just depends on how worn it is. If it is looking like it needs to be replaced or it is not very effective then...

  • Recommended Sway Control For 28 Foot Trailer With Single Friction Bar
    For a trailer over 26 feet long, it is recommended to use 2 friction sway bars like the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit - Economy - by Draw-Tite, Reese and Hidden Hitch # 83660. I've attached an article that helps gives more information on this. To add a second friction sway control, you will need to use the Sway Control Tab (Weld On) # 3442. You may want to consider using a weight distribution system with integrated sway control for a trailer this big. If you want to get a recommendation,...

  • Type of Ball Mount Suited for Welding on Sway Control Tab 3442
    The B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS20048B fits 2-1/2-inch hitches which are generally going to be towing trailers that are larger than what a simple friction sway control mechanism will handle. A friction sway ball mount tab # 3442 could be welded on but I would not do that to such a nice ball mount as the B&W. You will be better off selecting a fixed ball mount with the rise or drop you currently need and welding the tab onto that ball mount if you want to use a friction anti-sway...
