[A/S] Equal-i-zer Hitch (was " sway")




Hi Jack,

We also have the Equal-i-zer hitch and are very pleased with it's 
performance but have to agree, the finish could be better.  After the 
first rain we noticed several small bright orange spots where the 
paint apparently did not adhere to the metal and a little surface 
rust had formed.  A minor issue and easily corrected but shouldn't 
happen on a new product. 

With regard to the noise during low speed turns, are you aware of the 
modification Eqaul-i-zer has made to the original "L brackets", 
incorporating small "plastic-like" pads in the area where the spring 
bars ride?  These eliminates the need (and the mess!) of using grease 
to quiet the spring bar movement.  We obtained a pair of the brackets 
last fall and they are a big improvement in the noise department!
