to leave Friday morning. Well all went well, we got to the CG about 2 hours away, with some interstate, some back roads, some 4 lanes, and some pretty good grades up and down. When I went to unhook the sway bar. I realized I never tightened it (turned it on). It was just hanging there doing nothing. Y'all know I always say fix you sway first, and no TT should sway in normal driving. Well, mine don't. It tracks just great, no sway, no wiggles. I never knew it wasn't working, until I unhooked.Pretty good I think.

Reminds me of a friend who purchased a new TT. He kept saying the sway bar didn't work. Every time he encountered a semi, he'd get some sway. Finally one day, I looked at his sway bar set up. Even though he had the crank down handle tight, the adjustment bolt was loose as could be. The sway bar was there, but not engaged. I tightened it up correctly for him and no more problems. It's probably a good idea to have a written checklist when you hook up so you don't miss anything like this in the future.

I have a standard routine I follow when hooking up. I don't want anyone around talking to me. I always do it in the same order. Seems to work for me. I know others want to help but they usually get in the way...B.O.

Me. I'm just glad the TT tows so great, that the Sway control in not needed. And that no one did anything stupid in front of me to cause ME to induce sway.Except for that one IDIOT that passed us on the interstate, and then slammed on brakes when the saw the speed cop sitting on the side. I nearly ran all over him. and I wasn't speeding, or even close.

Nothing like a pre-trip inspection, saves lives and money, try it you'll like it.

Not to be a jerk but THIS time it was the sway bar and you got away with it. Next time it could be the tongue pin or some other vital detail. Pre-trip. For our sake if not your own,
