You can use the Curt friction style sway control, # 17200 on the left or right side. You will need to loosen the handle and the other bolt below it, pull the inside arm out, flip it over, then reinsert it. You will then need to unscrew the handle on top and the nut. Completely remove them both and the mounting plate.

Then rotate the plate 180 degrees and put the handle where the nut was and the nut where the handle was. Then, when you flip the unit over to use on the other side of the trailer, everything will be oriented correctly. Take a look at the question and answer I have linked. It includes a video that demonstrates how to perform this process.

Yes, the temperatures you mentioned are normal. If you were getting over 200 degrees that would be a bad sign. But typically if all of the hubs are the same temperature you're good and it's only really an issue if one of the hubs is hotter…

Rather than adding an additional battery on your 18' car hauler trailer, I recommend using a Rear Wiring Kit #BDW20207 to power the Winch #BDW10040. This will allow you to use the truck battery to power the winch and the alternator on your truck…

Hey Pierre, it looks like the Solera 3000 uses either a 63 inch or a 69 inch pitch arm so if you have the 69 what you would want is the part #LC375994 or for 63 inch #LC62NJ. Can you measure yours for me?
