Just fwiw, we're very pleased with the ride with the 10k Equalizer after the first leg of our trip with it. No waggle whatsoever. I went against the laws of the flying spaghetti monster and rubbed a little marine grease on the L bracket friction points while rubbing some on the required socket pivot points. Then tightened the socket nuts to 65 ft/lbs. The hitch was silent. With "our" rig, I think I'll continue this practice. Others may need the extra friction of dry L brackets to keep things in line. Equalizer says lubing the L brackets is not required. It will decrease the effectiveness of it's built in sway control.
