Will Applying Grease to Equal-i-zer Head Assembly Cause Less Friction
Question:
In the installation manual it say to grease the two trunnions.The square parts that are attached to the head that receive the square spring bars wouldnt this defeat the purpose to control sway.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Although the head unit of an Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System, like part # EQ37100ET, does contribute to the sway control, where the arms connect to the L brackets contributes even more. The arms move back and forth and really only apply friction when needed whereas the head unit, where the arms connect, will have much more movement when you are making turns. Because of this it is best to grease the Equal-i-zer head assembly to help increase the lifespan of the weight distribution system.
We do carry the recommended lubricant as part # EQ91-00-4250 if you don't already have some.
