Right and Left sway control a myth?

i don't understand how 2 bars could cause a binding issue... it seems that the forces being applied with 1 regardless of which side you choose to use it on, would be the same type of forces on the other... unless there was a bit of play between the ball and the tongue which is scary to think about whether there is or is not any sway control.

i've never used the friction bar type sway control. i may be incorrect on this but it seems like a better idea to have the trailer want to right itself like a dual cam then to resist all movement.

The DC is a 100% friction based control. Not sure what you are trying to say, but the DC does not force the TT back into line. It has friction in both directions, but less friction when moving back to center... This may or may not be desirable depending on circumstances and point of view.

i'm not sure on the correct wording to use to describe the type of sway control that is separate from a WDH and i likely used the wrong words to descibe why i personally view something like a DC to be a better way to control sway. i agree the dc is always under friction. when the bar is riding higher on the cam when the TV and the TT are articulating it is increasing friction being applied by increasing wieght to the bars and the friction decreases when the TT is becoming centered. it isn't forcing the TT to center but it is encouraging the tt to center while discouraging movement away from center, with the other type there is just friction hindering movement in any direction like a shock. i am no engineer and i may not understand the differences between the two enough to say one is difinitively superior to the other, but i can't think of a senerio where the design of something like a dc would be less desireable to the add-on friction bar type. i'm not saying that to imply there isn't one, just that i can't invision one.
