Re: [A/S] Newbee question: How necessary is a Hensley?

["j54mark" <jmrdse@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a simple adjustable friction device that consists of a bar, 
which attaches to a small ball next to the coupler, and a hollow 
rectangular tube (in which the bar slides back and forth), which 
attaches to a small ball on the "A" frame of the trailer tongue.  It 
is about as primative a method of anti-sway control as can be 
imagined, but for smaller trailers, at least, it works quite well.

Your coupler head may not have a provision for this, however.  If it 
does, there will be a "wing" or extension of some sort with a hole in 
it on the right side of the the coupler (looking at it from the 
rear).  The ball bolts on there.  Any dealer who has the Reese anti-
sway bar can show you how it goes on.
