Affordable Ways to Improve Trailer Suspension Performance

The motive behind the design of each vehicle is to give the best possible ride under ideal road and load conditions; the trailer suspension enhancement system takes care of unusual loads and bumpy or mountainous road conditions and is specifically designed to improve suspension performance without compromising on the quality of the ride.

Trailer suspension is a durable hollow rubber cushion installed in the front or rear of a truck to assist suspension performance. The characteristics of the hollow rubber cushion is to upgrade the deflection quality of the suspension automatically – while handling deep curves, reducing the sway when driving in crossroads, and when carrying heavy or unbalanced loads.

The function of the rubber spring is ideally to absorb the shock from the suspension that is otherwise transmitted to the frame. This in turn will reduce the downtime and maintenance cost of the vehicle.

The suspension trailer is engineered in such a way that if your vehicle leans or corners or curves, the kit can improve weight distribution to all four corners of the vehicle.  This helps to maintain the vehicle level, improves steering balance, and reduces application of strong brakes and tire wear.

There are also a number of sway-control devices available to stop a trailer from swaying. The key is in selecting the right spring for each application. The following are some basic tips on trailer suspension:

Installation Tips

It is easy to install and can be installed in minutes using the basic hand tools. There is no need to drill holes, just follow the simple installation steps provided.

Maintenance Tips

There are no airlines or fittings to leak. It just comprises of bolt and kit and your vehicle is all set for a lifetime of trouble-free service.  Keep an eye on the rubber cushion as it is subject to wear and tear. As soon as you detect that your trailer ride is no longer smooth, immediately check the suspension and replace it if required.  This could cut repair costs which are possible when the suspension does not work as parts are subject to wear and tear.  

Usage Tips

The rubber cushions in the trailer suspension absorb road shocks and automatically adjust to uneven loads or road conditions, the result being a smooth, stable rubber cushion ride.  But still it is always better that you drive carefully and avoid bad roads and strong brakes, if possible.  

The trailer suspension series features distinct operational and technological benefits and advancements that include patented pivot bushing, more robust shock absorbers and a unique, patent-pending axle wrap design.

•    Patented pivot bushing – These absorb road inputs resulting in a softer ride, more cargo protection, and reduced torsion stress on the vehicle's structure. Patented steel interleaf shims in the bushing provide improved fore-aft stiffness aiding in dynamic axle alignment, better tire wear, and controlled roll steer.  

•    Larger, more robust shock absorbers – These are specifically tuned to credit the suspension with three times the damping power, over competitors. Larger bore design provide greater suspension control, and more consistent tire contact with the ground, reducing tire tread wear and improving braking and enhanced handling.

•    Unique, patent-pending axle wrap design – These are used for secure and durable axle connection.

There are chances of damaging your suspension trailer if you tend to exceed the tow rating for any vehicle as you will overload the suspension. In some situations, you may encounter premature brake fade and even experience further reduced and possibly unsafe passing ability. Furthermore, you will not be doing any favors to the engine, and the chance of eventual transmission failure is also possible.
