Sway Controller ? for longtime towers
When we bought our first TT about 5 years ago, we were warned during our walk-through that we should always remove the sway bar prior to backing with the trailer. Even if we were backing just a little...

The hitch manufacturer will let you know if their sway control can remain installed when backing up. If they say no backing up they mean it. The hitches that allow backing are usually the ones with the sway control built in to or on to the end of the bars. The hitches that you should not back up usually have the separate sway (friction) controller that mounts between the hitch head and the trailer tongue. If you do not disconnect the sway control you will be replacing the weak link when it bends. Hopefully the weak link is the sway controller not the hitch head or the tongue.
