reese sway control adapterfast shipping product was as described excellent overall transaction will do business with them again in the future. Easy to install with excellent directions.



by:

The cut doesn't fit my ball mount which comes with factory towing package for 2009 Lexus GX 470.



by:

My sway control is actually on the drivers side of the truck, hence I have to turn the mechanism upside down and the U-shaped lock doesn't work. They should make a separate item for driver side sway control connections.



by:

Received mount in excellent condition. Packaging was great and shipping was fast. Will most definitely order from etrailer again.



by:

Great idea, easy install, updated delivery was right on and now I know who to order parts from! Thanks etrailer.com!



by:

The product ordered came before the delivery date. E-trailer kept me informed of the progress of the item while in transit. Very good customer service. I would not hesitate to order from E-trailer again.



by:

This fits the bill if you can't get the right dimension of drop and still get the sway control ball without starting all over.



by:

The product work great and eliminated sway in the camper when attached with a sway ball and friction sway control.



by:

Products were shipped promptly and arrived as scheduled. The communication from etrailer was great throughout the process. I haven't actually towed with these items yet-though they are installed.

Based on this experience, I will definitely buy from etrailer again.



by:

Simple installation prevented the welding of a tab to the hitch in order to mount a sway control ball. The bracket adds 1/2 inch to the ball height, so check that your final tow height is correct - mine was fine. Also the thickness of the plate reduces the available thread area on the ball so, check for full thread engagement of the trailer ball nut. I would certainly use one again.



by:

Great quality materials. Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Two things you need to take into account when installing this product. It is about 1/2" thick so you will need a hitch ball that has a long shank to fit through the ball mount and the sway-control bracket and still have enough threads left to install the nut properly. Your ball height will also be 1/2" higher than the drop or rise on your ball mount i.e. a 2" drop will only be a 1-1/2" drop and a 2" rise will be a 2-1/2" rise. If ordering this with a ball mount, take that thickness into consideration.



by:

Excellent Product and quick shipping, the friction sway control and sway control bracket work perfectly, much more enjoyable pulling my pop up camper on the highway!! Thanks!



by:

I welded it to the curt ball mount after aligning it with the ball mount. Very strong!

The friction sway control works great! I added safety wire to the friction adjustment handle to keep it from turning looser when on the road.



by:

This is the third one of these I have purchased since July of last year. I am having a problem with the bracket bending when making normal turns. After researching the product I decided that the sway control bar may have been too tight so I am going to give it one more try. If this does not cure the issue I will not recommend this product. Service from etrailer has been good.

Bought a weight distribution hitch



by:

I bought this damper mount because it was all set and I didn't have to do anything except bolt it on to my hitch bar. It was very simple just follow the direction provided. Remove the ball then position the damper mount and reinstall the ball. The quality of the part was excellent and everything worked as expected.

Still works great! And it’s awesome because after about six months we changed the height so we just took the damper mount off the old draw bar and put it on the new draw bar, perfect.



by:

The sway control bracket was easy to install on the hitch and worked well with the Reece sway control kit for towing our 22FB Airstream to the Ozarks and to Minnesota. A great product.

  • Recommendations for 2014 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited Towing a 5x8 Hiker Highway Deluxe Trailer
    Trailer Brakes are not required on most trailers under 3,000 lbs unless otherwise stated by the local authorities. This should not be an issue with safety behind your 2014 Subaru Outback, but you can add them if desired. I would just need you to pull a hub and let me know the number on the grease seal and the face of the 2 bearings in that hub. With that info I can get you the parts needed for the upgrade. The bigger issue with a trailer this size and weight is sway caused by wind...

  • What Hitch Ball Does Blue Ox Weight Distribution System Use?
    For the weight distribution hitches from Blue Ox that have a gross towing weight of 20,000 lbs, # BXW2000 and # BXW2003 you only need a hitch ball with either a 1" or 1-1/4" diameter shank. For a 2" hitch ball you can use # 63845 and for a 2-5/16" hitch ball you can use # 63847. To put it on the system, you only need to slide the ball into the hitch head and tighten it. If you go to 5:45 of the linked video review you can see exactly how to install the hitch ball.

  • Recommended Sway Control for 20 Foot Enclosed Trailer Weighing 7,000 lbs Loaded
    For your 20 Foot Outback Enclosed Trailer, the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit - Economy # 83660 will use friction to minimize the movement by basically sandwiching the moving bar. This will allow for turning to still happen without issue, but will need to be removed for backing up, which is easy with a single pin removal. You will also need the bracket # RP26003 for an easy installation of the friction sway control ball. I've attached an article to assist. A single friction sway control...

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • Can Sway Bar be Used with Trailer Hitch for 2018 Audi Q7
    Based on my research, your 2018 Audi Q7 features a 7,700 pound towing capacity if you have the 3.0L engine. If you happen to have the 2.0L engine, the towing capacity of the vehicle is 4,400 pounds, so I do recommend verifying the limits of the vehicle by checking the owner's manual or asking the dealer you are working with. You will need to adhere to the weakest component in your setup, even if the trailer hitch itself has a higher rating. In cases when a weight distribution system cannot...

  • 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...

  • Towing Mirrors for 2021 Subaru Outback Wagon Towing Trailer
    I recommend the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirrors # CM11952-2 since there are no custom fit mirror extensions for your 2021 Subaru Outback. They have very large 7-1/2" wide x 4-3/4" tall mirror that can be turned vertically or horizontal to suit your preference. I like the simple strap system so that there is less failure points than the more complex ones that take a long time to setup from the beginning.

  • Can Volkswagen Touareg Use Weight Distribution When Towing
    You will need to check your owners manual to see what the trailer towing capacity is for your Touareg. Many times the construction of a vehicle will restrict the amount of weight the vehicle can tow. I looked at a 2010 Touareg and the trailer hitch we have that is designed for the 2010 is the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # 13220. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening. A technical note states that you cannot use weight distribution with this hitch. You will want...

  • Adjustable Ball Mount With Sway Control Tab
    You can pick up a ball mount like the Curt # D320 with a sway control tab that offers 4 inches of drop right here on this page! The Draw-Tite # 7390 is adjustable between 3-3/4" of rise and 5-1/4" of drop and has a 6,000 lb towing capacity and 600 lb tongue weight capacity. Your other option is to use a ball mount with a 4" drop and 7,500 lb capacity such as the Draw-Tite # 2753 with Reese Sway-Control Bracket # RP26003.

  • Can Friction Sway Control Be Added To Small Travel Trailer Without Weight Distribution Hitch?
    You sure can! You would just mount either the Curt Friction Sway Control # 17200 or Reese Friction Sway Control # 83660 to the frame of your Travel Trailer. You will then add the Reese Sway-Control Bracket # RP26003 to your ball mount if you have a 2" trailer hitch receiver, or # RP26005 if you have a 1-1/4" trailer hitch receiver. I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

  • Question About a Product
    If you are not experiencing sag then you can start with just the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit part # 83660 and the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts part # RP26003. There is no good way to attach this other than welding to avoid putting holes in the frame. I know it is not much better. If this does not get the results you are looking for a weight distribution setup with built in sway control can be a very effective way to resolve it completely.

  • Trailer Ball Height to Increase Tongue Weight to Help with Sway Control on a Single Axle Fish House
    You should have the hitch ball height set so that the trailer tows as level as possible behind your pickup. If there is a setting that goes between slightly higher than level and slightly lower than level, opt for the slightly lower setting, when the trailer is sitting on the trailer ball. An increase in tongue weight will most likely help with your sway situation. Adding weight in front of the trailer axles would be the best way to increase the tongue weight, just make sure you stay within...

  • Recommendation for Fighting Trailer Sway
    If you are wanting to use a Friction Sway Control Kit, like part # 83660, then all you will need is the Reese Sway-Control Bracket # RP26003 for your 2 inch ball mount. As convenient as the price of a sway control kit is, I highly recommend going with a Weight Distribution (WD) system instead. Not only will it ensure that your towing setup is level, but it will also have an integrated sway control that allows you to back up, unlike the kit. When you choose a WD system you will want to...

  • Alternatives for Trailer Hitches That Do Not Allow for the Use of a Weight Distribution System
    I do have ways to help with trailer sway and vehicle sag on your 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan but none of the trailer hitch receivers they have for your vehicle are compatible with a weight distribution system. Load leveling is what Volkswagen calls what we refer to as weight distribution. A weight distribution system is never going to be required however, if the gross trailer weight (GTW) of your trailer is more than 50% of the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your vehicle, the use of...

  • Sway Control Recommendation for Vehicle with 1-1/4 inch Hitch
    We have friction sway control units that will work great to prevent the type of sway you are describing. For that the Curt part # 17200 would be a really great option. You'd use the bracket part # RP26005 installed on your hitch ball and then you'd be set. Friction sway control was designed to fight the exact type of sway you mentioned that is caused by wind from passing semis or just high winds in general. Proper trailer loading makes the biggest difference in preventing sway as well....

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for Both Dump Trailer and Travel Trailer Applications
    For your weight distribution system, I recommend the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - Clamp On - 15,000 lbs GTW, 1,500 lbs TW # BXW1500 with hitch ball # 19286 for your 10K dump trailer and then you will simply need different spring bars for your travel trailer. I recommend the Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System # BXW4007 for that application. All of the other components of the system will work fine with both applications. These...

  • Recommended Trailer Mounted Bike Rack For A-Frame Trailers
    If you add a dual receiver adapter like the Curt Dual 2" Receiver Tube Adapter, 8" Extension # D-192 to your Toyota Tacoma, it will not only add the tongue weight, but will reduce your hitches tongue weight capacity by 50%. I recommend going with the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers - 2"-100 lbs # CC-275 which will allow you to use your current rack, and will add that trailer tongue weight, but will not reduce your hitch's tongue weight...

  • Sway Control Only For a 16 Scamp Travel Trailer Pulled By a 2017 Honda Pilot
    As you are not wanting a weight distribution this is going to limit you to either a Friction Sway Kit # 83660 with Sway Control Bracket # RP26003. Or you will need an Electronic Sway Control # 335TSC-1000. The friction sway will require you to take on and off the sway bar. I only recommend having it installed when driving on the highway as maneuvering can actually damage the bar or one of the ball mounts. The electronic use the trailers brakes to control sway by activating either the left...

  • Question About a Product
    Hi Emily, Before buying anything you'll want to verify that both the Pilot and the trailer hitch installed on it are rated for use with a weight distribution hitch (WDH). From what I can see Honda does not recommend it because it can shift the weight and put too much stress on the frame if installed incorrectly. If everything checks out you can go with the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0450. This system has a tongue capacity range from 200lbs up to...

  • Is The Reese Sway-Control Bracket Compatible With The Curt Ball Mount # C45030
    Hi David, The Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # C45030 is approximately 2-1/2" wide. The Reese Sway-Control Bracket # RP26003 can fit ball mounts that are smaller than 2-5/8" wide so these two components would be compatible with each other.

  • Sway Control For 2022 VW Atlas That Cant Use Weight Distribution
    While there isn't a way to completely mimic how a weight distribution hitch works, you can use a friction sway control system for a safer way to tow with your 2022 VW Atlas, and you'll also need a bracket that goes over your ball mount: - Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 - Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts # RP26003 Then to help with any suspension sag, what you can do is add air springs to the coils, the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4175.

  • Availability Of a Ball Mount With Friction Sway Control Tab Rated For 10,000LBS
    You do have a couple options but the Curt Ball Mount w/ Sway Control Tab # D320 is not available in a 10K weight capacity. You can use the similar Curt Ball Mount # C45310 rated for 10,000lbs and weld on a Sway Control Tab # C45822. We do also have the Bolt On Bracket # RP26003 but his has a 1" hole versus the 1-1/4" hole on the ball mount. So you will either need to drill the hole larger or use a 2-5/16" Ball # C40007 and Reducer Bushing # F-2. Then you will be able to mount the Friction...

  • 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...
