Question:
According to your video the bars ride on friction pads which help control swaying. As with any friction pads ie brake pads at some point they will wear down. Are these pads replaceable, how much does that cost and how difficult is it to replace them?

Expert Reply:
The Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion - 10K GTW, 1K TW # RP66559 utilizes friction pads that will eventually wear down as you stated. It will take a long time for these pads to require replacing, but the Replacement Friction Pad Kit for Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution Systems # RP58527 are available and easy to replace with a simple screw and nut.

Since the spring bars don't actually slide back and forth in the brake-shoe lined brackets, how can this possibly supply sway control?
