How does it control sway without any friction points?
It's the angle of the hitch head and the flex in the bars. The hitch head is set at an angle where the trailer always wants to return back in line with the truck. It's a caster angle to be more precise. Similarly how the caster angle on a car helps return the steering wheel to center as the vehicle moves forward. The bars work to force the trailer back in line as well. As the trailer sways to one side, more pressure is placed on that bar and less on the other. The stressed bar puts pressure on that side and the trailer migrates towards the less stressed side evening the trailer back out.
Okay I get that. Even with the bars hanging from chains that can swing it still has enough pull to straighten the trailer out? It works well for you so that's all that matters.
