Fastway E2 WDH is noisy!!

Has anyone else noticed a lot of scary noises coming from this set up at slower speeds while turning? Had meant to really grease the stabilization bars up good before he last trip to see if it would make a difference but forgot. Understand the bars are under a lot of tension but not sure that this noise is “normal”. No noise without the bars attached so have to imagine it’s coming from where the bars go into the receiver ports on the hitc. Thanks all

We recently changed tow vehicles, which ended up angling the bars (E2 600/6000) upward instead of parallel to camper frame and ground. The bars now make a lot more noise and "pop" instead of sliding across the L-brackets. I have to readjust the L-bracket height to make it get rid of the pop and restore the relative quiet. When adjusted properly, the hitch did groan in low speed turns.

Are you all using the sway bracket jackets? My E2 is almost silent with them.

Just curious, do the jackets effect the friction needed for the anti sway to work like it should?

If got a 10k E2, keep the ball and pivot points of the load bars lubed and can’t complain on the little noise it makes.

No, they don't seem to. I've ran this setup with two different vehicles (and campers) and it performs well.
