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 ...

Friction sway bars don't do all that much to control sway in the first place. If you have a safely set up hitch, tow vehicle and trailer, you'll be fine. As long as you didn't have any indication of sway during the 12-13 miles you towed it without the bar, you shouldn't have any problem towing farther.
Just keep your speed under control, and pull to the side of the road if it gets real windy. You'd be surprised how many of the friction sway bars aren't set correctly anyway.

I do agree he can drive to a supplier with out incident to get one. I believe a sway control does a lot to keep you going straight down the road. Every rig is different with it's load and weight distribution. So, though some may not notice much difference with or without the friction bar hooked up. In my opinion that doesn't mean it's not helping to keep you straight and the wiggle to a minimum. Sway Controls are a lot like seat belts..........Until you really need them, you could think they're a waste.
