Hitch Sway Control Kit Tips (Canada)
Towing
A friction sway control kit only helps after tongue weight and trailer level are right. Mount the trailer bracket where the link can pull cleanly, set the tension for the loaded trailer, and recheck after the first highway miles.

What the kit is doing
The kit resists the trailer pivoting on the ball. One end bolts to a ball or tab on the mount or WD head. The other end bolts to a bracket on the trailer tongue. It is a friction device, not a steering system. If the trailer is nose-high or tongue-light, fix that first.
Some ball mounts include sway tabs. Some trailers already have a bracket. Read both sides before you order duplicate hardware. Capacity still follows the lowest rating in the chain.

Setup habits that matter
Install on level ground with the trailer loaded as you tow. Keep the link clear of the coupler handwheel and propane lines. Set tension so the link resists a firm push but still lets you jack-knife slowly in a campground. Backing sharp into a stall sometimes means disconnecting the link. That is normal. Reconnect before the highway.
Canadian winters corrode the sliding surfaces. Wipe the bar, keep grease off the friction surfaces unless the instructions say otherwise, and store the link indoors when the trailer sits for months.
