FAQs

What is included in this service kit?

The kit includes a coupling damper, rubber bellows, and a high-visibility yellow secondary coupling cable.

What type of trailer coupling does this kit fit?

This kit is specifically designed for Indespension V671 braked trailer couplings that use a standard 50mm tow ball.

What is the load capacity range for this kit?

The kit is suitable for trailers with a load capacity between 375kg and 800kg.

Can I use this kit on a trailer with a towing ring coupling?

No, this kit will only fit trailers with a standard 50mm tow ball coupling and will not fit towing ring or nato ring couplings.

How do I know if this kit is compatible with my trailer?

It is essential to compare all the parts in the kit (damper dimensions, bellows size, cable length) with your existing components before fitting. Trailers can have variations, so visual and dimensional confirmation is key.

What is the length of the secondary coupling cable?

The secondary coupling cable is approximately 1 meter long and features a thicker 3mm cable for extra strength.

What are the dimensions of the damper?

The damper has a total length of 410mm and a body length of 250mm.

Troubleshooting

Parts do not appear to fit correctly

Double-check that you have the correct Indespension V671 coupling and that the parts are identical to your original components. Variations can occur, and this kit may not be compatible if your original parts differ.

Trailer braking feels rough or inconsistent after installation

Ensure the damper is correctly seated and that the bellows are not obstructing its movement. Verify that the coupling mechanism itself is not damaged or worn beyond simple servicing.

Secondary coupling cable feels too loose or too tight

Check that the cable is attached to the correct points on both the trailer and the towing vehicle. Ensure the length is appropriate for your setup, allowing for full articulation without slack when the trailer is attached.
