This Bradley replacement damper is designed for braked trailer hitches with a capacity of 2250kg to 3500kg, specifically for the HU12 model manufactured post-1996. It effectively resolves issues like trailer banging during braking and erratic brake operation by providing smooth deceleration control. A key caveat is that it's only compatible with the HU12 model, and underlying brake system issues should be addressed concurrently to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the damper.

This replacement damper is specifically designed for Bradley HU12 braked trailer couplings manufactured after 1996. It is not suitable for other Bradley models or hitches from different brands.
Replacing a faulty damper resolves issues such as jarring 'banging' of the trailer against the car during braking, and erratic brake application ('brakes cycling on and off'), leading to a much safer and more comfortable towing experience.
The length of 390mm is from the centre of the mounting hole to the end of the thread. The body length (from hole centre to the end of the damper body) is 240mm. The body diameter is 30mm.
Basic mechanical knowledge is helpful for installation. The process involves unbolting the old unit and bolting in the new one, connecting the brake rod. However, it is recommended that the trailer's brake system is also checked and adjusted by a professional concurrently.
The damper works by controlling the rate at which the trailer's brakes are applied. If the brake system is faulty (e.g., seized cables, worn shoes, incorrect adjustment), it can cause excessive force or unevenness, leading to premature failure of the new damper. Servicing ensures the entire braking system functions correctly.
This damper is suitable for braked trailer couplings with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) ranging from 2250kg to 3500kg.
Ensure the damper is correctly fitted and that the trailer's brake system (including cable tension and shoe adjustment) has been recently serviced. An underlying brake issue can overwhelm the damper's function.
This is likely an issue with the trailer's brake system itself, not the damper. Check brake shoes, drums, and cable adjustments. The damper relies on a functioning brake system to operate correctly.
A leaking damper indicates internal failure and requires replacement. Ensure the replacement is the correct model (HU12 post-1996).
