A damper coupling can improve the precision and quality of your braking by aiding in the gradual application of brakes, both off and on. Maintaining the brake system is crucial to keeping your damper in working condition, regardless of whether you’re towing for business or personal reasons.

When a damper breaks the problem is obvious when the brakes of your towing automobile “snatch” when they are applied, and you’ll notice a jolt of a form at in the back. Before replacing the damper in itself be sure to verify the brake adjustment. Sometimes, brake shoes that are not adjusted properly or the rod that is causing brake problems cause the same problems as the damper is failing, but the adjustment of your brakes is cheaper.

The failure of dampers can result from many reasons including braking too harsh or the absence of maintenance. Regular adjustments must be made to ensure that the brakes functioning properly. Also, knowing how to replace your trailer damper will make a difference in the amount you pay.

Are all dampers equal? How can I replace mine?

Different dampers may not be identical, which means that the replacement process may differ dependent on the coupling that you own. Be sure to check the brand and model of coupling that you are using prior to replacing it. Below are the instructions that can be applied to the majority of dampers.

Take off the bellows. The bellows, also referred to as”rubber boot” or a “rubber boot” or “gater” is shaped like the appearance of a black, puffy seal that is attached to the coupling. Take it off to reveal the bolts that hold the head of the coupling.

Take the bolts off. You’ll need an abrasive to take off the front bolts, and then disconnect from the coupling head. After the front bolts have been removed, take off the bolt that secures the rear damper to the housing of the coupling.

Replace the damper of the previous one by the brand new. Remove the old damper out of its position and replace it with the new one.

Connect the coupling again. Follow these steps backwards with care. Re-install the coupling heads, reconnect the bolts and install the bellows.

Adjust your brake rod and shoes. Check to see if all looseness has been removed and out of your system.

Check that it is working. Bring your trailer out for a road test in order to check if there is difficulty braking the trailer. If it is not, you must stop towing the trailer as soon as you know the cause and resolve the issue.

If you are not equipped with any experience in mechanics or replacing parts of the coupling put it to an experienced professional. Do not risk your safety on the road in order to cut costs. In the event that you fail to do so, it could result in criminal charges and responsibility for any harm that occurs due to the risk.
