Equalizer Hitch Question
Installed new equalizer hitch with sway control yesterday. Coming home when making street turns would hear popping noise. This is first bumper pull trailer so am not familiar with noises to expect ,...

Someone above advised you to grease all the contact points....I would not do this as it will keep the sway components from doing their job.
You can and should grease the hitch ball and the trunnion bar ends that attach to the hitch head....but not grease the trunnion bar ends that contact the saddles.
From the manual... "Lubricating the socket joint may help reduce this noise, and is part of the required regular maintenance routine. Lubricating the L-bracket joint is optional. A better solution is a set of official Equal-i-zer brand Sway Bracket Jacketsâ„¢. They quiet the ride without the mess of using a lubricant.
The noise is also addressed on the FAQ section of their web site. http://www.equalizerhitch.com/Equal-i-zer%20Support/faqs.php
