Friction-style sway control system uses a telescoping bar with friction pads to fight trailer sway. Adjustable tension lets you set the right amount of resistance for your setup. Attaches to your trailer and weight distribution system or ball mount.
Features:
Note: Not for use on trailers with surge brakes. It is recommended that you remove this sway control unit before backing up/reversing and before towing in slippery conditions such as on wet, icy, gravel, or snow-covered roads.
When installing this sway control system, follow the included instructions and measure 24" straight back from the center of the coupler along the frame of the trailer to determine the location of the spacer plate and trailer-mounted attachment ball. To achieve proper alignment, the spacer plate may not be necessary in every application.
One friction-style sway control can be used for trailers with up to 6,000-lb GTW. If your trailer's GTW is between 6,000 lbs and 10,000 lbs, you will need 2 sway-control units, 1 on either side of the trailer. You will also want to use 2 units if your trailer is 26' or longer.

Friction-style sway control system uses a telescoping bar with friction pads to fight trailer sway. Adjustable tension lets you set the right amount of resistance for your setup. Attaches to your trailer and weight distribution system or ball mount.The sway control kit I ordered went on the receiver of my travel trailer easily and fits well. I tested the turn radius to see how sharp of a turn it would make without "hitting" and it performed perfectly. I haven't had the chance to take it on the road yet but don't anticipate any problems.
Justin - 03/17/2019I've been running a single sway bar for the last couple years on our 2500 and it was working well.
We recently downsized to an F150 and needed the second sway control. I'm certain it's going to help emencely.
Good price compared to other similar products. Easy site to use. Have purchased several products from etrailer and every purchase was easy, quick delivery, and exactly what was ordered.
the shipping was fast but the packaging sucked, it was all in one box and the brake controller and wire package was smashed from the 100lb weight distribution kit. I'll return the brake controller if it dose not work.
The "anti-sway bar" as I call it works as advertised. I've used this product for several decades on several applications including both the towed, and towing vehicles. It can make the difference in your comfort level on windy days. A note of caution: on some applications you'll need to remove it before backing up or you run the risk of breaking the ball.
This is a replacement for one i didn't hook up and left it on the trunk of the trailer and never found it after I got home....lol
This one was a direct replacement for my 06 model and it works great.
As usual etrailer had what I needed and at a good price!
Lee T - 05/19/2021Haven’t had a chance to use the new products yet but they are exactly what I need. I have an identical friction sway control bar on my camper and it works so well that I wanted to put one on my multi purpose trailer. etrailer kept me informed on the status of my order and delivery. Very pleased customer
Fast shipping. Technician was able recommend thus item as compatible with the weight distribution kit that I purchased prior.
The sway bar works well. The retaining clip sometimes fall out of the tow vehicle end which could be a problem. I use 2 clips at that end.
I pull a travel trailer with a Audi Q7 TDI and it is a unibody car and in the owners manual it states not to use a WDH. My trailer takes about 250 lbs. off of the front axle so the steering input is just a bit light. With this sway control bar by Curt the car and trailer feels as one and the control of the trailer is great.
Received my anti-sway bar to add to my weight distribution hitch in less than a week. Fastest service I’ve ever had. Installed it and it works great! I could only go 57 mph before and now can keep up with everyone else on the freeway! etrailer is a great place to get anything trailer related. Have always had great service and will buy from them again. 5 stars
John B - 07/13/2020This is my first time purchasing from etrailer and I have to say the experience couldn't have been better. I purchased this sway bar and other items for my new tow vehicle. After trying to piece together everything I needed for towing on a couple of other websites, and not having much luck, I went to etrailer. I was able to find everything I needed, very detailed product information, easy to navigate website, quick shipping, GREAT communication from customer service, and a price that was equal to or better than the other websites. Hands down a happy etrailer customer!
Brian - 07/24/2019If it has twisted then I would advise discontinuing using it. As called out in the instructions if this sway control bar or any of the components come into contact with the trailer while in a jack knife position it is recommended to remove the sway control bar while backing up.

Rachael H - 8/7/2019Easy to install and worked well on neighborhood test drive. Will not go on trip until May that is when it will get a good workout.
Everything came packaged nicely and I added it to the trailer with no issues. I can't wait to test it out on a windy day.
Anthony - 08/28/2021Curt Weight distribution hitch assembly including dual Curt 17200 sway control bars for our heavy 30 foot RV. Purchased through Etrailer Corp. the information from Etrailer was fantastic on which hitch assembly was best for my application, the hitch, bars, sway arms were delivered exactly on time with no scratches or damage. My light weight 2010 pick pulled well and was level and handled winds and passing semi trucks in the wind a pleasure! Unfortunately I don't have pictures to show because I have recently bought a new F-350 and a new 40' -5th wheel trailer and from Etrailer purchased a Demco 18K Hijacker Auto Slide 5th wheel Hitch that works fantastically.
Thank you Etrailer for best prices and service!
Super fast shipping and great products
The two units I ordered appear to be well made. I am somewhat disappointed with the loose fit between the ball and socket on both ends. There is about 0.070 inches clearance in each joint.
Looks good but have not installed it yet
Been using for a year now, works excellent, stops sway in side wind and traffic. I am using with a single axle camper that weighs 3300 lbs. and it handles it well.
Unit works as intended. The problem i had with these sway control devices is that there is no instructions on how tightly you have to clamp them down to get the desired results. It took lots of trial and error to find the correct amount of sway control for my application. And part of the problem was a video i saw on youtube where a man tightened them down too far and it pulled the small ball off of the a-frame on his trailer. If i could afforded it, I wish I would have bought a newer style WD hitch with built in sway control instead of these slides.
Very well made and solid!
It meets beyond my expectations.
The anti sway bar works well and well worth buying and installing. There are 3 things I would say about it.
1. It has a 4 bolt mounting plate instead of 6. Disadvantage: poorer force distribution, Advantage: less drilled holes to weaken frame.
2.Could use better instructions on how to set it. It really is quite useless if you set it too loose.
3. Watch out for the front clip. Mine came off but the sway bar stayed attached (that's a good thing). I put a safety wire around the safety clip now.
Great product. Installation instructions were clear and easy to follow. Everything pictured was in the package. I paired mine with the Curt ball mount receiver w/sway control tab 2" hitch item ID D320. Products work perfectly together to stop the sway. I would highly recommend this system to anyone looking for sway control.
Great product, great sales service, great delivery.
