L Pin wear

I noticed some wear on my L pins. I am assuming this is normal given their job? But thought I would ask anyhow

Yes, some wear is normal. you will get wear on your L pins and L brackets as the WD bar rides on the L bracket. this metal to metal friction is what makes the sway control effective. You can reduce noice and wear by installing L bracket jackets, that can be purchased thru Equal-I-zer. Many have said they work well. They will reduce your sway control slightly, but most do not notice.

Thanks, as I learned on this forum I have the old jackets that do not work with the new pins. Not sure if I want to get the jackets, the noise does not bother me anymore. I will tell you when I first started it really bothered me, not so much anymore. Not that I am a veteran towing by any stretch.

I will be getting an extra set of pins though...

if you don't want to get jackets , just add a dab of grease on the friction points and wipe off when taking off bars ....why listen to noise if you don't have to ? Plus ..if yiou ever mess up backing in to a site . no one will even hear you ...
