Yup, it was the sway bar. Didn't tighten it as much this last trip out and it made a huge difference ... thanks!

Yeah...kinda had me concerned the first time I did it. Glad it was simple and nothing bad.

Although everything above is undoubtedly true, there is one hitch that absolutely requires lubrication each and every tow.
If you have a trunion style load distributing hitch, as we do, you must keep the upper and lower trunion arm pockets lubed. We use a heavy silicone grease, but any heavy grease will minimize wear. |

That is optional for the E2 and Equalizer (trunnion style). See page 15 item f: http://www.fastwaytrailer.com/pdf/e2_trunnion_instructions_0212.pdf |

Different recommendations from different manufacturers, I guess. Curt makes it very clear that the trunion pockets be cleaned and re-greased after (or before) every tow.
