How Does a Weight-Distributing Trailer Hitch Work to Improve Stability?
A weight-distributing trailer hitch uses spring bars and chains to redirect tongue weight away from the tow vehicle’s rear axle. This is crucial for reducing rear sag, improving steering, braking, and ride comfort, and significantly cutting down trailer sway. The weight distribution hitch consists of parts such as the ball mount, trailer hitch, and vehicle shank. These parts together help in managing the trailer performance.
