Welds are Cracking on 6-Year-Old Equal-I-zer Weight Distribution System
Question:
My hitch is only 6 years old and the welds are cracking . Why. Do I have a defective hitch. And is this a part that is covered under the warranty ?

Expert Reply:
It could be some sort of issue with the steel on your Equal-I-zer weight distribution system # EQ37140ET. Frequent overloading of the hitch could also cause this issue. I'm not saying that you overload the system but that is just one possibility.
