What part of the wdh did you shim to remove play? The one thing I noticed with our DC is the cam arms have a little play to them. Plan on trying to see if I could shim those at all. I know I am crazy.... but I would like to see a "hybrid" DC system, a combination of the old u-bolt bracket with the new style adjustable cam arms....
Reese has a shim kit consisting of two shims. Available hereat etrailer.com. The shims go between the hitch head and shank. You shouldn't have to shim the cam arms.

The Fastway (Equal-i-zer) E2 hitch has two points of sway control. Those two points are where the WD bars contact the L brackets on the trailers A frame. The WD bar sockets at the hitch head are free swinging just as in a normal trunnion style hitch.
The Equal-i-zer 4 point hitch has those same two control points (which are secondary) plus the main two control points which are the interface between the WD bar sockets and the underside of the hitch head surface - hence the advertised 4 point control.
So No, the two hitches are not the same and are actually quite different and have different amounts of sway control.

To the Op,make sure you know your loaded TW because the TW capacity of the Equalizer and the Reese WDH's mentioned here are only rated to 1700# TW if I remember correctly. I have a 28' TH,TT and my loaded hitch weight is way over 1700#. Had to go the Blue OX direction which is rated for 2000# TW.
