Good post Wes. I think you may have hit the nail on the head. I've read that strut bar "slop" is one thing that is said to cause sway, and sometime severe sway. Don't know if that's correct or not but was one of the reasons I went with th PP, price was the biggest reason.
I don't doubt for a moment that some have had a handling problem when the HA/PP hitches, and some possibly very bad. But having logged well over 2 million miles I always look at possible operator contribution. When it comes to mechanical equipment, nothing is EVER set and forget and doing so can be very dangerous. I know on the PP site it says that failure to keep the strut bars properly adjusted, or wear of the bars, can and does cause sway. I've never owned or driven either one so this is just what I've found out researching them.
Anyways, I'm glad no one was seriously injured in the posted accident.
