A poll on WDH w/sway control

Not on the road, but in the lot when you pick it up. Later tweaks to the setup at home or on the road will likely be needed once you get it home and loaded. The initial setup should be done before you ever hit the road with it.

I've never had a problem with excessive noise with our E2 hitch.  On the road, I've never notices any noise at all from the hitch.  When driving very slowly over a bumpy area, as in a camp ground, or backing into my driveway, there is a little noice, but certainly not anything that would justify doing anything about it.  To me it seems like more of a solution in search of a  problem.

A little noise? Okay. A lot of noise? Not okay.

One additional thing that will help quiet a hitch. There is always some play between the hitch stinger and the receiver on the TV. That makes for clunking noises as the hitch shifts. Using a hitch tightener such as the StowAway Hitch Tightener or some other variety of hitch tightener will eliminate this source of hitch noise. The "Sway Bracket Jacket" works for Equal-i-zer 4-point sway control hitches to reduce the groaning noises when turning. The Equal-i-zer site specifies that they are for the Equal-i-zer hitch only and not for the E2 hitch, although I have seen elsewhere where they do fit. They can reduce sway control a little bit. I suspect that is why they are not recommended for the E2 because that model relies on the friction between the arms and the brackets for sway control where the Equal-i-zer also uses the friction at  the pivot points for the bars in addition to the bar/bracket friction for sway control.

+1 for Charlie's comments on reading the manual and checking it out. I have had to adjust my hitch. It isn't so much that the dealer did it wrong, but that after some modifications, it was no longer correct. Also, with a change in tow vehicles, I needed to re-do it to suit the current TV. Follow the manual and you will be okay.
