Minimize noise and reduce wear and tear on your Equal-i-zer sway-control brackets and spring bars with these unique, plastic sleeves. Designed for use with Equal-i-zer weight-distribution systems rated for 6,000 lbs to 14,000 lbs GTW.
Features:
- Jackets slip onto the L-brackets of your Equal-i-zer weight-distribution system to limit steel-on-steel contact
- Minimizes wear on sway-control brackets and spring bars
- Creates a quieter towing system
- Nylon construction is sturdy and durable
- Application: 2" wide sway-control L-brackets of Equal-i-zer weight-distribution systems rated for 6,000 lbs - 14,000 lbs GTW
- 2 Sway bracket jackets included
- Made in the USA
Note: Using the sway bracket jackets on your sway-control brackets may slightly diminish the effectiveness of your Equal-i-zer system's integrated sway control. Although minimizing the steel-on-steel contact eliminates some of the noise that occurs when towing with the Equal-i-zer, it also limits the friction created when sway occurs and, therefore, the effectiveness of the integrated sway control.

Is there a bigger set that y’all make because the one I ordered is a apparently to small it don’t fit the hitch set up I have I left a pic of what mines looks like hopefully y’all can help me find the right one and return this one
by: Joe P.10/18/2023
These are great for reducing SOME of the noise from the Equal-i-zer system and preventing premature wear to that system.
by: Frankie F.07/20/2019
The Sway Bracket Jackets work perfectly and exactly as described. They were a breeze to install and fit perfectly. They eliminated any noise previously encountered while towing our travel trailer. I would highly recommend these sway jackets and etrailer.com.

Works as advertised. Now I don’t have to lubricate the joint to quieten the sqeaking.

1 year and 5k miles and still satisfied. Helps quiet the groaning that can occur with the hitch most noticed at slow speeds ie arriving at the campground and parking.

@Allen Keep in mind that using these will limit the sway control function to a certain degree...

Delivered quickly, they really quiet down the weight distribution hitch.

These sway bracket jackets are worth the money. They quit the squeaky sounds from my equil-i-zer wdh.
by: John E.06/20/2020
I bought these cause the noise from my equalizer hitch was waking up the dead. I put these on and the noise was gone while towing my trailer.
One thing I did notice was that getting passed by big trucks now caused swaying that never happened before the pads were installed.
I sold my 26" trailer that these were installed on and up graded to a new Jayco 36' trailer. Of course since this corona virus nonsense I haven't used the new trailer I bought in October and am going to use it this week. I'm going to not use them on the way out and install them on the way back to see if I get any sway.

I believe Im right about the swaying. The swaying Im getting is because of the reduced friction on the bars. They stop the noise but are actually defeating the original purpose of the sway bars. Im also a dummy cause the majority of the noise I was experiencing was coming from the brackets attached to the hitch. I wasnt lubing them enough.
by: Vernon03/07/2018
Went on two RV trips out West pulling a 27 ft. trailer, one with & one without the weight distribution hitch. There was no comparison. Without it, the strong winds out West on the plains moved us about and made steering difficult. With it, a smooth no problem experience as if there wasn't a trailer behind the truck. The tool to hook up the stabilizer bars makes it so easy. The pictured wear pads make a big difference so there's no wear between the bars and brackets extending their life. An excellent product and I would recommend it to anyone.
by: Patrick 08/28/2023
it came as expected. happy with timely delivery. will be trying them out soon
by: Tony S09/06/2016
I love love love these sway bracket jackets. They completely stopped the pops and groans my Equalizer was making before adding them.
One special note, though... I suggest NOT adding lubricant on top of these. I added a light layer of the Equalizer lubricant on top and noticed that it reduced the friction on the spring bars maybe just a little too much and that allowed just a little bit of occasional sway movement that I hadn't felt before adding the lube.
These are essential in my view and should be standard issue with every new Equalizer purchase.
by: Robert 07/22/2023
I’ve used these before and they helped incredibly!!
by: Rich 07/14/2023
Slips right on and stays on, looking forward to quieter turning
by: Tom O12/02/2019
These seemed rather expensive for plastic parts but our trailer hitch was so loud that it was worth a shot. If I’m being very generous the noise seemed maybe a little quieter, maybe, the first time or two we used them. But over time I’m not confident they make any significant difference. I keep them on because I like reducing a little of the friction but I wouldn’t buy a replacement if I lost them.
by: Pegavas01/04/2017
Product is good. It will wear because torsion bars ride back and forth against when turning. The bad, these should come with hitch to begin with. The jackets will require replacement so Equalizer will get their future sale once worn out. Some people say their sway bars make a lot of noise these are the answer; get them. Also, do the maintenance on your hitch and grease will stop metal to metal contact (noise)

Still functioning as required, but Not as much wear as I had anticipated. Theyll last awhile before replacement. I would still buy and use on hitch bars.
by: Dennis 05/11/2023
They work well keeping down the noises you hear while driving

Have had them in use for a year and they are good as new and working great.
by: Marco05/13/2019
I have been using a little grease on the L bracket to eliminate squealing from the load bars moving back and forth during travel . This year I decided to install these bracket jackets when I happened across them while buying some other spares. Installation couldn't be easier and there were no issues. They do add a small amount of height to where the bars rest so it will slightly increase the load distribution of your hitch setup. Also, I may still put a small dab of grease on the vertical leg of the L bracket next time because there was some noise. So far, so good after using them once.

Adding grease or the jackets will inhibit the sway prevention performance of the system to a degree, since the system depends on metal-on-metal friction to prevent trailer sway.
by: Kelvin R05/10/2013
I was unable to use this part as I have the newer Equalizer brackets retainers that have a rotating spring clip which will not clear these jackets. This product can only be used with the older style of brackets retainers that use the pin and retaining pin underneath the L bracket. I returned the part for a refund.

Weve contacted Equal-i-zer about these jackets. There was a short period when the L pins and jackets were not compatible. It has since been resolved and the jackets and pins have been updated and should now be compatible.
by: John L.04/17/2019
Stops metal to metal contact (and noise) yet still provides good friction to reduce sway. Biught 2 pairs to be prepared on the road. Very happy with purchase.

Still great! For those saying they dont stop the noise dont forget to grease the where the bars attach to the pivot.
by: Steve P06/06/2017
Haven't had the chance to take trailer out yet, but should work great. Simple installation in seconds. It is such an obvious and inexpensive, fix, l don't understand why this is not standard with the hitch.

After a year the bushingsilencers are still working well. My only complaint is that these should be integrated in the original purchase. Why would the hitch be sold without them, when they make the towing experience so much more pleasant and would not cost that much more for the manufacturer to include on initial purchase.
by: Will W.09/19/2017
Im not sure if it is 100% because of these but my hitch makes almost no noise now. I did grease the hitch pivots at the same time and loving how quiet everything is now. One of the better prices for this product as well.

Still working good a year later
by: Bob 08/30/2022
No tool install and they quite the sway bars.
by: Caleb S03/22/2017
Products were delivered timely and as described. I haven't utilized them yet, but the install was intuitive. I don't see why these wouldn't decrease the over all noise output from the hitch. Any time you can reduce friction of metal to metal you are on a good path.
Caleb S.

Product is still excellent! 3/18. Purchase extra sets as you will wear them out, depending on the amount of use.
by: Mike M.12/13/2012
Very good products. Great to do business with. Will buy with etrailer in the near future.
by: Bob O09/06/2017
The Hitch its self is awesome I just docked it a star because of cheap hardware. The sway is minimal the truck rides great and level and with the pads for the L-brackets noise is minimal. Like many vendors their hardware is not up to the task. I had the washers on the 3/4 bolts that hold the Head to the shank literally disintegrate(they cracked in so many places it was like a spider web). Luckily they held till I got home then I got some Military spec washers and they seem to be doing fine.

view full answer... - Available Accessories to Reduce Noise from Weight Distribution Systems Like the Curt TruTrackSome odd sounds and noises from a weight distribution system are pretty much par for the course. Any device like these that uses friction, such as to accomplish a degree of trailer sway control, is going to make noise. With the Equal-I-zer systems use of their jackets # EQ95-01-5150 can reduce this to a degree but not eliminate it. Plus anything that reduces friction and noise in such a device will also inevitably reduce its effectiveness. Friction is how they do their job. Curt does...

This is applied to the hitch ball, head assembly or spring-bar sockets as needed. I have attached a video review for your reference.

I would be happy to see if we have brackets that would work for you. What brand of weight distribution hitch do you have? Would you be able to send a picture of the whole system?
