I've never used a hitch like that but I asked how does a person know how to adjust them. I was told from a couple of people that have used them to measure your space between bot of rear fender opening and the top of the tire unloaded, then adjust that when loaded to about 1 inch less. Also make sure your tires have proper air preasure, if their down some that will also give you a wandering feeling even when unloaded.
The measuring technique is basically what's set forth in the instructions. The Equalizer hitch is a pretty simple concept and easy to set up correctly (or wrong if the shop does not bother to read the instructions). Shops that install a lot of them and are familiar with the procedure will have no problem, as the end user will not if they decide to do it themselves. It's good to verify the measurements to make sure enough weight is transferred back to the front wheels.
Kristy,
Good to hear you got your problem solved for the most part. With a bit of minor tweaking, you'll arrive at a perfect setup.
