During a recent trip we started to experience way more side to side sway than I would like. On smooth highways the trailer is stable and tracks well. But when the surface is rutted or when going over bridge transitions the amount of left to right sway is noticeable and sometimes concerning. Is it just our poorly maintained highways, I-40 either side of Flagstaff for example, or should I be looking for a mechanical issue? I would be interested to know what other peoples experiences are.

For background, we have a 2013 290RLT pulled by a 2016 Ram 2500 Crew Cab 4x4 diesel using a recent Curt A20 slider/Ram puck system (in the tow position). Tires on the trailer a recent Sailun's of the correct size a load capacity.

The trailer has Mor/Ryde CRE/3000 suspension. I have not had a chance to inspect the bushings but I'm leaning towards installing the Mor/Ryde HD shackle upgrade kit as a first step.

Anyones comments or experience would be appreciated.
