Squeaking and Poppoig

Squeaking and Poppoig - 07/22/17 08:49 PM

I bought a33' bumper pull from Dads estate. I have pulled it from Keller to Granbury and today to the inspection shop and back. It creeks and popes when I turn or when it leans. I don't know if it is the ball and hitch or the sway bars. The guy at Bennett said it is normal but it sounds TERRIBLE.

Any advise?

either anti sway or leaf springs. you might check on the rv forums. rv.net is a treasure of info.

The hitch and load leveler if it has one is what you are hearing. Normal. bg

A friction sway control makes lots of noise around a turn.

Thanks, I guess I have never been next to one making a turn.

We have an equalizer brand weight distribution hitch and sway control, it is very quiet.
