Question:

I need to replace a lost round weight distribution bar. How do I know which manufacture to get part from? Can not locate any name or numbers. Other places to look on hitch assy etc.Thank you for any guidance.

The weight distribution hitch head assembly where your round spring bar installs will usually have some branding or other information such as a safety/warning sticker, or possibly a number cast into it. The remaining spring bar may itself have a part number too. Check your remaining bar for any information such as a part number or weight rating.

I linked our main page for replacement parts for weight distribution systems. We offer head units like Reese # RP58112 (note in its photos the location of its sticker under the ball platform) as well as round spring bars in various weight ratings. Reese bar part # RP58114 works with systems rated up to 800-lbs tongue weight and with their dual-cam sway control (part # RP26002 - sold separately).

Please feel to submit photos of your system's spring bar and head unit to help us determine what you have.
