What is a shock absorber for trailers?

A trailer shock absorber is a useful component of a trailer's suspension system designed to dampen the impact of bumps, vibrations, and movements encountered during towing. It helps to improve stability, control, and overall ride comfort by absorbing and dissipating kinetic energy generated by the trailer's movement. This enhances towing safety and reduces wear and tear on both the trailer and the towing vehicle. Shock absorbers for trailers come in various types and designs, offering different levels of damping performance to suit various towing applications and preferences.


Shock Absorber FAQ’s


Why are trailer shock absorbers important?

Trailer shock absorbers are crucial for enhancing ride comfort, stability, and safety during towing by dampening vibrations and reducing the impact of bumps and uneven road surfaces.

How do I know if my trailer needs new shock absorbers?

Signs of worn shock absorbers include excessive bouncing, swaying, or uneven tyre wear. If you notice any of these symptoms or experience a decrease in towing performance, it may be time to replace your trailer's shock absorbers.

Can I install shock absorbers on my trailer myself?

While it's possible to install shock absorbers on your trailer, it's recommended to consult with a professional for proper installation. They can ensure the correct fitment and alignment, maximising the effectiveness of the shock absorbers.
