Trailering issue (diagonal pulling)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello all,
I had a question regarding diagonal pulling while i'm trailering my 2011 Zinger  27RL.  I noticed the other day when I brought it home from my storage location that it felt like I had a lot of sway. I do use high end sway bar controls and haven't had this issue in the past.  Any ideas on why this could be happening?  Tire pressure was good and its less than a year old. I tried contacting my dealer but they were out for the weekend.

Thanks!

Joe

	It felt like it had a lot of sway or it was pushing you one way or another? Sway could be from not enough tongue weight and too much weight in the back or your WDH/Sway control are not dialed in correctly. What is your TV, what WDH and sway control are you running so we can help you a little better.

	Thanks for the response. To describe more in depth it felt as if the trailer was swaying back and forth, not pulling in one direction. My TV is a 2005 F150 extended cab (5.4L V8, 3.73 Axle, 9300lb tow capacity) and I use the Equalizer sway bars. I changed my rear suspension to coil over springs last fall. I also trailered after the upgrade and didn't notice an issue then. Does the upgrade in suspension warrant a remeasurement for my sway system?

	I just scheduled an appointment with the dealer. They believe it could be from the upgraded rear suspension. Ill let you know how it goes
