Available Accessories to Reduce Noise from Weight Distribution Systems Like the Curt TruTrack
Question:
Ive heard that there are plastic sleeves or pads of some sort available for Equalizer WDH to address some of the squeaks and other noises. Is there anything similar available for the Curt TruTrac 17501?

Expert Reply:
Some odd sounds and noises from a weight distribution system are pretty much par for the course.
Any device like these that uses friction, such as to accomplish a degree of trailer sway control, is going to make noise. With the Equal-I-zer systems use of their jackets # EQ95-01-5150 can reduce this to a degree but not eliminate it. Plus anything that reduces friction and noise in such a device will also inevitably reduce its effectiveness. Friction is how they do their job.
Curt does not offer such an accessory item since they feel its beneficial effect (noise reduction) would not offset the reduced effectiveness of its primary function, which is to convert movement into friction (and noise!).
If your Curt TruTrack # C17501 is fairly new and has low miles on it you will find that as it wears in it will tend to get quieter. The powder coat on the spring bars makes a good bit of noise until it wears off a bit from use.
