You know, Milt. You ought to mount a video camera on your truck and take the HA and your TT for a spin. Focus the camera on the hitch head and record how it behaves at different times during your trip. I think you'll be surprised to see just how much it "translates" (moves side-to-side) as you accelerate and brake (creating both tension and compression in the linkage) during your maneuvering. Unless the linkage pins are tight as a drum, you should see plenty of slight (and perhaps not-so-slight) side-to-side movement back there. What you won't notice is anything resembling sway, but don't mistake this for no movement at all.
Or is that just another one of my entertaining ideas that there's no point in trying "in the real world"?
