Do Spring Bars On Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch 800lb/8000lb Wear Out Over Time?
Question:
I’ve had the E2 800lb system for about five years now. Is there a life expectancy or an anticipated replacement mileage/years for the spring bars?

It sounds like you have gotten some good use out of your Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round - 8,000 lbs GTW, 800 lbs TW # FA94-00-0800!
While it is theoretically possible that the spring bars could wear out over time, we have yet to run into such an issue. There is not a life expectancy or recommended interval for replacing the spring bars. As long as they are in good shape with no visible damage you are good to keep on towing.
I included a video of the # FA94-00-0800 for you to take a look at.
