? Tail-Heavy Trailer Sway
"Pull-behind" trailers are trailers that connect to the tow vehicle by
a ball (or other attaching arrangement) on the back of tow vehicle and
a trailer hitch on the tongue attached to the front of the frame of the
trailer. If the trailer is improperly-loaded into a tail-heavy
condition (in other words, the center of gravity is to the rear of the
center of the axles) arrangement, it will sway from side to side. But
why? Why would tail-heavy conditions cause such behavior? The weight on
the tongue would be negative, but I still can't understand the swaying
mechanism.
