• 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.

• 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...

• Recommended Weight Distribution And Sway Control On Wells Cargo Motorcycle Trailer

This system uses a friction to stop sway once it starts. This may be enough for your system depending on the cross winds. Two can be mounted,...

• 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.

You'd then remove the inner section of the # 83660, rotate...

• Solution for Installing Sway Control on Trailer Where Theres Interference on Left Side
  You can use the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 on the right side of the trailer instead as it sounds like there isn't interference there like on the other side. You'd just need to pull out the insert piece and spin it 180 degrees and reinsert it so that it can be mounted and install on the opposide side of the trailer. If you need to put the ball mount tab on the opposite side of the ball mount you'd then want the weld on tab part # 3442.

• 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...

• 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...

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...

• 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.

• Adding a Bar-Style Friction Sway Control Tab to a Ball Mount
  The sway control brackets such as # RP26003 are going to have a 1 inch diameter ball hole like you said. What you can do is weld on tab # 3442 to the ball mount that you have so you can use a bar style friction sway control unit such as # 83660. If you went that route it would essentially look like # D320 except with a different ball hole diameter.

• Can a Flash E Series HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount be Used with a Weight Distribution System
  Weight distribution (WD) systems, like the Fastway e2 # FA92-00-0600, actually use a specific head that installs on a WD shank. The head is designed to hold the bars so you wouldn't be able to use a Flash E Series HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount, like part # FA42-00-2825, with a WD system. You can use the sway control unit # 83660 either way though. If you don't already have a tab for the small hitch ball then you can install a tab with part # 3442 or part # RP26003.

  To add a second sway-control bracket to their WD hitch, the Draw-Tite Sway Control Tab, part # 3442 is typically welded to the other side of the ball mount used, giving an additional mount for the sway control ball. You can then add the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit, part # 83660 which has the ball included and can be used in the # 3442 tab.

• Sway Control for a Trailer and 2006 Ford F-250 that Already has Weight Distribution
  Since the trailer weighs 8,000 pounds you will need to use 2 friction anti-sway bars since they are only functional up to 6,000 pounds gross trailer weight. You can use 2 of # 83660. It is going to be a little tricky though since you already have a weight distribution system. You would have to have some tabs welded to the head, # 3442, for one. You would have to ask the manufacturer of the system if these tabs can be welded on. Welding should be performed by a qualified professional welder...
