You might need to SLIGHTLY loosen your friction bar if it isn't straightening properly. Or, tap your trailer brakes and see if it straightens out. I could see that happening with lighter weight trailers, but would be unusual on heavier trailers, IMO.
My trailer wasn't set up properly hitch wise and didn't have a whole lot in it. That's why I was curious if a friction sway control could do that. When I corrected the opposite direction it would drive straight and not pull.
So, in reading all of the setup stuff, I'm not sure there is enough chain on the existing WD bars to get it set up properly. The bars ride slanted up towards the rear with the head tilted slightly to the back in the 2nd loop from the end. I think that puts it in the 7th loop IIRC.
Is it possible to replace the chain with a longer one to get the setup right? There is a lot of popping and noise going on back there compared to my other trailer which makes me believe I'm hitting the frame on turns. My only other option would be to go ahead and get the DC setup and forgo trying to adjust what is there. It seems to setup and work better with the inverted hitch coupler anyway...
