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.
