Once tightened to 65ft/lbs on the socket bolts, the WD bars on the Equalizer 4 pt are quite hard to move. With the bar in the socket, it takes some effort to turn them in or out even when properly lubed. There is quite a bit of resistance to sway in the head alone. I have no doubt there is still quite a bit of resistance in the L brackets with a touch of grease as well. From the driver's seat, it feels pretty stiff. Again, not recommending, just sharing what works for us. What happens when they get wet from rain in a windy storm or cold front? Water is a lubricant. It still works.
