If I were to take a guess, I would say something failed on the Hensley. when something brakes (strut rod for example) the HA will allow the trailer to go all over the place!
This might be the best swag so far. Also shows why many of us like to have a safe and sane towing set up BEFORE we had the sway bars etc. Not a swaying trailer, adding bars to fix the fishtail sway. When the bandaid breaks, the trailer will fishtail, and you have a setup in the ditch. I drove 150 miles one time with a literally "lost" bar that had fallen off, the other was still there but disconnected. Trailer pulled straight the whole time. Finished the trip with 20-30 mph side to side gusts going the Columbia River Valley. Trailer was rock solid behind me.
