Genuine coupling damper designed for AL-KO 251S overrun brake couplings on Brian James trailers. This essential component absorbs shocks and vibrations during towing, protecting your coupling mechanism and providing a smoother, more comfortable towing experience.
Key Specifications:
- Designed for: AL-KO 251S overrun brake couplings
- Trailer Capacity: 1500–2700kg ATM
- Mounting: Between coupling body and V-drawbar
- Part Number: S-CODA-1090-P-N
- Compatible with: AK301/AK270 coupling heads (50mm tow ball)
Why Coupling Dampers Matter:
When towing, your trailer experiences constant jolts, bumps, and vibrations from the road. Without a damper, these forces are transmitted directly to the overrun brake mechanism, causing premature wear, uncomfortable towing, and potential damage to the coupling components. The damper acts as a shock absorber, smoothing out these impacts and protecting your investment.
Benefits:
- Reduces shock and vibration transmitted to the coupling
- Protects overrun brake mechanism from premature wear
- Improves towing comfort and stability
- Extends coupling service life
- Reduces noise and rattling during transport
- Essential for smooth operation on Australian roads
Compatibility:
Specifically designed for AL-KO 251S overrun brake couplings with V-drawbar configuration, commonly found on Brian James trailers rated between 1500kg and 2700kg ATM. Works with standard 50mm tow ball coupling heads including AK301 and AK270 models.
When to Replace:
Dampers wear over time and should be replaced if you notice:
- Excessive bouncing or jolting when towing
- Visible damage, cracks, or oil leakage
- Increased noise from the coupling area
- Harsh engagement of overrun brakes
- As part of regular coupling maintenance (every 2–3 years or as needed)
Installation Note: Professional installation recommended. Damper must be correctly positioned between coupling body and drawbar. Check manufacturer's torque specifications for mounting bolts.
