Subject: Sway bar bending mount plate?

Good input, I think on a very hard turn, there is possibility the extension length was maxed out, which could mean the trailer mount is out of tolerance or in what you experienced it was too tight. I know when I set my sway bar, I use my fingers to wiggle the bar up and down, then adjust till it stops wiggling and add 1 turn. That is where I start. If everything else is correct - tongue level or slightly down, etc, I will add tension but never to max. I know I can tighten mine to where it makes noise when extending I can hear in cab of tow vehicle. Too tight.
