Reducing Noise With Equalizer Hitch

Question

Question:

I currently own and use a Equalizer hitch. How do I stop the terrible squeaking I'm getting without lubricating the friction points? It is so loud that everyone looks at me when I pull into campgrounds.

In order to reduce the squeaking you will need to do some lubrication; I recommend using the Equal-i-zer High-Performance Lubricant # EQ91-00-4250. You will want to apply this to your spring bar sockets, hitch ball and weight distribution head, though not the brackets. This should reduce the squeaking that is causing unwanted attention.

That is not normal wear for the L-Brackets on your Blue 2-Point #BLU75FR to be that worn. It looks like you have too much angle in the head, so I recommend trying to tilt the L-brackets a little to try and get the bar less on just that one edge, and…
