Friction has nothing to do with it? :E
Just what do you think the increased pressure of the arm does? It increases the amount of friction between the WD bar and the cam! The Dual Cam system is totally dependent on that friction between the WD bars and the cams. It works so well because, once the static friction is overcome, the amount of friction increases when the trailer tries to sway or turn and decreases when the trailer tries to return back to center.
