I just purchased a used travel trailer that came with a weight distributing hitch and sway bar. When attaching the chains for the wd bars to get similar tension on each bar, the number of links is different for the left and right by two chain links. This has never happened to me before with previous trailers and I am wondering why.
I checked all the components...receiver, hitch head, wd bars, and placement of the chain anchors and nothing is bent or installed incorrectly. Anyone have an idea why the chain length to get similar pressure is different from side to side?
The truck and trailer are not in a straight line. Even if not straight by a few degrees, it will make the tension different on the left and right bars.
