Should Dual Cam Sway Control Cams be Greased at any Point
Question:
I have a 2017 F-250 diesel truck. I haul a 30ft V-lite trailer around 8000 pounds. I have the hi-performance dual cam system, do you need to put a light coating of grease on the cams?

Helpful Expert Reply:
I checked the installation instructions for the Reese Dual Cam Weight Distribution system and the instructions state that you should NOT use grease on the cams or arm. If you are having issues with noise a very light coating of a lubricant can be used on the part of the cam where the spring bar rides the cam.
The only mention of a lubricant is that you can use it on the adjustment nut and cam arm so that the adjustment nut can be moved freely to the desired position.
