I agree with the analysis posted by mjlaupp that improper weight distribution is the likely cause of sway in any model TM. The entire line of TM's have been and still are largely sway free except under very unusual conditions. I have experienced violent sway with an improperly loaded Coleman Niagra tent trailer but absolutely none with our 3326K.

Early into my TM purchase in 2009 I decided to add a layer of extra safety by purchasing a Hensley Cub hitch and, of course have had rock solid towing and tracking ever since. The added cost of that hitch system (nearly $2,000) has been well worth it.

Attached are some photos and a bit map of our hitch installation.
