Funny how often the question of grease vs. sway control comes up for Equal-i-zer hitches. If they aren't maintained and accessorized properly, they do in fact thunk, clunk, and groan like a ziggurat full of of zombies. Fortunately, its easy to make this into a wonderful quiet hitch that performs beautifully. A pair of sway bracket jackets and a little grease at the pivot points is all you need. Don't grease the bars where they rest on the sway brackets, that's no fun and it makes a huge mess. Don't ask me how I know that. [emoji6] Lastly, torque the pivot points in the head to roughly 30 pounds. You're good to go!
