You can't interchange them because they are designed for either the left or right side. If I recall correctly, one of them is a Draw-tite.

Please review the following websites:
Pro series sway bar # 83660:
http://www.reeseprod.com/content/dow...ion/N83660.pdf
On page 2 in the installation instructions it states: "NOTE: For left hand installation, remove slide bar (6), and reinstall upside down."
Reese standard friction sway bar # 26660:
http://www.reeseprod.com/content/dow...ion/N26660.pdf
The installation instructions do not specifically state the same method of adapting for left side use, but in the features it states "can be used on left or right side of trailer"
Draw-Tite Sway bar # 3400:
http://www.reeseprod.com/content/dow...tion/N3400.pdf
The installation instructions state: "NOTE: For left hand installation, remove slide bar (6), and reinstall upside down."
Please note that Reese, Draw-tite and Pro Series are all on the same
Reese Towing Products" website, indicating to me that they are all owned by the same company. As best as I remember, all the parts of the Draw-tite and Reese Standard series are interchangable.
Harbor Freight Haul Master Sway Control # 96462:
http://manuals.harborfreight.com/man...6999/96462.pdf
Figure E (top of page 8): "For left hand installation, remove the Slide Bar (14), and reinstall it upside down."
In order to use any of the three major friction sway bar assemblies (or the HaulMaster version) on the left side, all you need to do is take the friction bar (6) out of the clamp device, turn it upside down, reinstall it and put the sway control assembly on the other side of the trailer. The only thing you will notice different about the installation is that the decal/sticker on the sway control will be upside down. There is no left or right sided sway control device that I am aware of.
I have not seen any "left hand" friction sway control bars. If you have access to any information regarding the existance of such a device, please post a link to it so I can review this "new animal" Thanks
