cross winds?

I have a Husky Friction Sway Control and while driving in a cross wind (not strong enough to stop) is it better to tighten the friction bar or loosen it to try to reduce the effect of the wind on the driving vehicle?

thanks

In theory tighter would be better as it will provide more resistance from sway but that assumes it's within the ability of the device. Locking it down super tight may cause other issues.

Far better is to have a rig that doesn't sway and that's mostly about getting a decent amount of hitch weight (ideally around 15%) on a truck that can handle it.

I donโ€™t change mine for wind.
