Question:
Ive heard of some type of nylon pieces that are made for putting over the end of the round tension bars on weight distribution hitch that will help quiet the normal creaks and pops associated with weight distribution hitches, do you sell these or is it some after market part? Thanks!

Helpful Expert Reply:
I have a solution for you but the nylon pieces you are asking about item # EQ95-01-5150 don't work on round bars. In order to reduce the creaking and pops you're hearing you will need to do some lubrication; I recommend using the Equal-i-zer High-Performance Lubricant item # EQ91-00-4250. You will want to apply this to your round bar sockets, hitch ball and weight distribution head. Do not put this on the brackets. This should help reduce some of the noise.
