2 sway bars on a pull behind trailer
I've got a 32 foot trailer and I get real tired every time a bigger vehicle passes me my trailer sways back and forth. Just wondering, other than price to buy it, is there anything negative about...

"IMO, the Center Line is reactive because it relies on spring compression to generate a yaw-resisting torque. When there is zero yaw angle, there is zero yaw-resisting torque. The trailer must develope a non-zero yaw angle before the yaw-resisting torque begins to build.

A small mistake here. He states that there is no yaw angle force when the DC is straight. That is not exactly how it works.
When straight, the spring bars have an upside down "U" shape that captures the cam. Any slight movement from straight immediatley creates more tension in the oposite cam which resist the sideways movement.
So no, there is no yaw force at zero angle, there doesn't need to be. But as soon as you start getting away from straight, the bars push back.
The cam will not move, only the bar slides.
