CURT 17200 Sway Control Kit | Adjustable Trailer Sway Reduction

Discover a steadier tow with CURT 17200 Sway Control Kit

When towing, lateral trailer movement can feel unsettling on windy days or during lane changes. The CURT 17200 Sway Control Kit is designed to address sway by attaching at the coupling point and providing controlled resistance. This approach works with your existing weight distribution setup to help keep the tow load moving more predictably on the road.

How it works

The sway unit mounts to the trailer frame at the coupling and connects to the vehicle ball mount via a separate trailer ball. The unit uses a brake-pad–like material to provide resistance during turns, helping to limit sideways movement while still allowing smooth steering. The system is adjustable, so you can tailor resistance to different load sizes and towing conditions.

• Attaches at the coupling point to counteract lateral movement
• Counteracts sway to improve tow stability during lane changes and gusty winds
• Uses a tuned resistance to preserve turning performance with a connected trailer
• Adjustable bolt accommodates different load sizes

Fit and compatibility

Installation and use
