Question:

I have an e2 round bar hitch. I lubricate the ball with ball grease, and the sockets where the sway bars into. I am inquiring on your opinion about utilizing sway bracket jackets to further reduce any sway bar noise. Your opinion please. Thank you

Hello Miles, thanks for reaching out. The Sway Bracket Jackets # EQ95-01-5150 can help to reduce the road noise created by your E2 round bar hitch. The only downside to the jackets is they can reduce the effectiveness of your WD hitch. They will help with the noise somewhat so it is really up to you to decide if you are willing to sacrifice some sway control to have a slightly quieter ride.

Leave a reply below with any other questions or comments and I am happy to get back to you.

Hey Miles, how did things turn out after trying the sway bracket jackets with your e2 round bar hitch? Did they quiet things down enough to make the trade-off worth it? Your update could help others weighing the same choice.
