Part of the problem is that most people confuse trailer sway with push / pull. When a semi-truck passes on the interstate and it feels like you're getting pushed away or pulled in? That ain't sway! That's push / pull, and it's natural. It does it without a trailer, but is much more noticeable pulling the trailer. A sway bar will do NOTHING to stop push / pull. This is where smart, cautious and aware driving come into play. I'd hope most of us are relying on our driving skill and not on a $40 steel bar. Or maybe most of us are driving with our knees.
