Solution for Trailer Sway When Passing Semi-Trucks
Question:
I have a 2012 jeep wrangler and a small pop-up camper 1475gvw hauls great at 65mph but get the dirty air from a semi and its all over the road, would a swaybar help in this situation? Thanks

Expert Reply:
Yes, a friction sway control unit like the part # 83660 would work great to help prevent the sway you get from passing semi-trucks. What you described is the intended application of a friction sway control unit. For the bracket for the sway control you would also need # RP26003.
I attached an install video link plus a help article for sway control for you to check out as well.
