Upgrade your Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch with socket pins that include an integrated thumb clip. No more fumbling with separate cotter pins when attaching or detaching sway control arms -- these lock into place quickly and release just as fast, making hitching and unhitching a noticeably smoother process.
The standard Equal-i-zer hitch ships with a conventional socket pin and a separate cotter clip. While functional, that two-piece setup means small parts to keep track of, awkward one-handed fumbling under the hitch, and the occasional lost cotter pin on a gravel pullout. The 14-2976 socket pins solve this by integrating the retaining clip directly onto the pin body.
These are a direct upgrade and direct replacement for the factory socket pins used to secure the sway control arms on Equal-i-zer 4-point sway control weight distribution hitches. Pair them with the Equal-i-zer Snap L-Pin (sold separately) to make the full hitching sequence as quick and tool-free as possible.
Clip is permanently attached to the pin -- no loose hardware to drop or misplace under the trailer frame.
Lock and release the sway control arm pin without tools. Useful in tight hitching situations or when hands are cold or gloved.
Designed specifically for Equal-i-zer 4-point sway control hitches. Drops into the existing socket without modification.
Manufactured to Equal-i-zer quality standards with a 90-day limited warranty.
Each package contains exactly two (2) socket pins with attached thumb clips -- one pair. This covers both sway control arm connection points on a standard Equal-i-zer hitch head.
If your current socket pins are bent, corroded, or missing their cotter clips, these are the correct OEM-style replacement. Equal-i-zer part number 14-2976 is also referenced as 95-01-9415 in some older documentation -- both numbers refer to this same component.
Equal-i-zer hitches use a 4-point sway control geometry that integrates weight distribution and sway resistance into a single head unit -- no separate friction sway bars required. The sway control arms are the spring bars that extend from the hitch head down to the brackets on the trailer A-frame. These socket pins are the connection point where those arms lock into the sockets on the hitch head casting.
