I really should get a picture of what the damage can look like. My dealer installed my friction anti-sway ball at the wrong location, and it closed up on my first FORWARD left hand turn out of the driveway. The ball on the tongue is supposed to be mounted 24" back from the main ball center, but was only 21" back, giving it 3" less travel than it should have had. On a sharpish left turn the bar fully closed in the carrier, and ripped the bracket half off the frame.
The dealer has agreed to replace the bracket and mount it at the correct location.
I knew about removing for backing, but never expected this to happen in a normal forward turn.
The install sheet for our Husky recommends having a spotter watch you slowly back into a jackknife position so you will know if you have to regularly remove it when backing up.
