Anti-Sway Broken--How Serious? Need Help!
OK, I am a total newbie who did very a bad thing on the very first day using my new travel trailer. Long story short, I sheared the forward ball on the anti-sway friction arm. We were 13 miles shy ...

With a 34' TT like that, first thing would be to slow down to what seems safe & comfortable. I slowed down to 45-50 mph on an interstate once when there was a high side wind. How did you originally adjust the WDH? If you haven't at all, or lately, measure the before and after front fender heights to ensure adequate weight is transferred back onto the steer axle by putting more tension on the WDH chains. Air up the TT tires to max. sidewall psi and maybe also air the truck tires to, or close to their max. psi rating too. I run 75 front & 80 rear on our F250 for towing and like the tighter handling and control.
As above, should be fine as long as you slow down. Some people don't use sway bars at all even when they should be in some cases. If it gets windy around there during the day from the effect of the sun heating the ground, maybe head out early in the am, take a break in the afternoon and get back on the road in the evening?? Maybe traffic would be lighter in the evening too.
