CURT 17200 Sway-Control Kit Components & Installation Guide

The CURT 17200 friction sway-control kit connects between the trailer A-frame and the tow vehicle's ball mount. Compare the manufacturer's kit photograph with the component reference below to identify the sway-control body, attachment balls and hardware.

Manufacturer installation and component reference

The original CURT instruction sheet shows the sway-control kit and describes how it attaches. This document is an installation reference rather than a numbered exploded-parts drawing.

Before selecting a replacement

The CURT 17200 kit includes the sway-control body and its attachment parts. The separately sold 17201 and 40093 balls are useful when replacing a missing component; the 45820 ball mount is an alternative vehicle-side mounting product, not part of the numbered kit. Do not use this friction sway-control unit on trailers with surge brakes. Follow CURT's instructions regarding backing clearance, road conditions and tension adjustment.

Use the complete CURT installation manual for assembly, inspections, installation and safe towing operation.
