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:
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.

They made a huge difference in the noise coming from the equalizer hitch, they should be included with every new equalizer hitch from the factory.
I’ve been using these jackets with my weight distribution system for the past year. I have to say they’ve made a nice difference in helping my weight distribution system perform much quieter and reducing the friction between metal parts. I highly recommend them.
Direct fit. Time will tell on the longevity of the spacers but will control the noise a bit. I understand friction is needed but the solution of using grease at the touchpoints as an alternative still has reduced friction. My RV is max 6k, I have the 10k capable hitch setup and will report back any cocnerns. Right now all is good. E trailer, thank you for the quick turnaround on the order.
I've been looking for a solution to the wear and noise caused by the weight distribution bars on my equal-izer hitch. Perfect!
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
I've used these before and they really do eliminate the noise from the Equal-I-zer hitch bars.
My wife hated the noise from the sway bars, these little gems did the trick.
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.
I will setup the Equal-i-zer system in a couple of months and try the jacket brackets. Curious to find out how much sway there may be with and without them. For the price, I think it's worth trying.
They fit perfect and keeps the noise do wn.
These are great for reducing SOME of the noise from the Equal-i-zer system and preventing premature wear to that system.
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.
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.
Quality product delivered every time.
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.

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.
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.
These sway bracket jackets are worth the money. They quit the squeaky sounds from my equil-i-zer wdh.
Very good products. Great to do business with. Will buy with etrailer in the near future.
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.
Delivered quickly, they really quiet down the weight distribution hitch.
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
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.

Product is still excellent! 3/18. Purchase extra sets as you will wear them out, depending on the amount of use.
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.
These worked great on my 1k/10k equalizer hitch. Took most of the popping out during slow turns. They seem durable and take 15 seconds to put on.

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?
