CURT 17200 Trailer Sway Control Kit for Weight Distribution Hitches

This CURT 17200 Trailer Anti-Sway Bar Control Kit works well. This is a simple yet effective sway control device. It is essentially a brake pad clamped to a flat bar. The tightness of the clamp can be adjusted by turning the adjustment screw. I have tried several adjustments and can definitely hear it groaning when making slow turns. I guess that means it's working. Installation could be better. Self tapping screws (these are not self drilling) are easily stripped and not what I would consider reliable. I prefer to drill through the frame and use grade 8 bolts, although I haven't done that yet and the included mounting screws have been okay so far (500 +- miles). The little ball joints and presto pins that mount it seem fairly cheesy but have worked sufficiently. It mounts and dismounts easily. This is used on my 26" travel trailer that weighs about 6000 pounds. Tow vehicle is 2011 Chevy Avalanche, so its a pretty soft ride compared with a pickup truck. I towed it a couple times with no sway control and it was indeed quite "wandering". 70 mph on the interstate was fairly tiring and at times stressful. This sway control is a noticeable improvement. Now I can keep up with traffic without as many "oh-crap" moments. I also installed a Curt 8000lb. weight distribution hitch and that works great to level out the vehicle. Highly recommended for Chevy Avalanche and Suburban / Tahoe with coil spring rear suspension. These vehicles ride nice but really sag when trailering anything heavy.

Quick to arrive. Works as expected. Seems good quality.

Works just like it should and is perfect for controlling the sway on my 23 ft travel trailer. I like that it came with the ball that I had to have welded to my trailer hitch. Luckily I have a brother that's a welder so that was no big deal.

I ordered two for our new 25' travel trailer. First one installed easily on right side. 2nd one had the bottom tension screw cross-threaded, and I had to carefully remove and install it properly. Instructions for mounting on the right side of trailer tongue were OK. But would have appreciated instructions for mounting the 2nd one on the left side, which required swapping the tension screw and tightening lever positions. I figured it out finally, but it took some thought. Could also have used some help with proper tension adjustments. I finally got good advice with videos posted on youtube. First trip with them installed, we encountered strong head winds and side winds in North Texas, and the trailer tracked great, even though gas mileage suffered significantly due to the winds. Glad we had them on! :)

No issues so far. Seems like a quality product.

Had a fairly bad swaying problem with a light weight enclosed trailer in the wind. This Curt sway bar pretty much took care of my swaying problem. Easy to install also.

Great

I bought one and loved the results so much I bought and installed a second one. Use them on a 20ft long enclosed usually 6500lbs when loaded. It's only recommended to have one for that weight but I found two do very well at controlling unwanted wobble on highway.

Seems to do exactly what its supposed to do, perfect replacement for my old one

Only regret should of got it sooner? Very easy to fit and the towing my American caravan is just great 👍🏻

Must have if your RV or Trailar sway, I have purchased 2 for my RV and it’s a saver, my RV is not swaying up to 100km. I use it in every trip I go to keep safe. I recommend for every RV and Trailer to use at least 1 to ensure safety. Better to have on long RV or Trailers 2

I haven't used it in our strong western canada winds yet but installed easy and looks good in place. Hopefully I don't have to test its function in high winds in the mountains... Instructions are vague but there are tons of online information sites as to how to set it up.

Used these for years now. Work exactly as expected.
