FAQs

How often should I check my friction pads?

It is recommended to check your friction pads at the beginning of each towing season and periodically throughout, especially after long journeys or if you notice any changes in towing performance. Look for visible wear or glazing.

Can I use these friction pads with other stabiliser brands?

No, these friction pads are genuine AL-KO parts designed specifically for the AKS 2000, AKS 2004, and AKS 3004 stabiliser systems. Using them with incompatible systems may result in poor performance or safety issues.

What is the expected lifespan of friction pads?

The lifespan varies greatly depending on usage, towing conditions, and maintenance. They are wear items and will need replacement when worn. Regular inspection is key to determining when replacement is necessary.

Do I need special tools to replace the friction pads?

Replacement typically requires basic tools such as wrenches or sockets. Refer to your AL-KO AKS manual for specific tool requirements and detailed replacement instructions.

What happens if I don't replace worn friction pads?

Worn friction pads will significantly reduce the effectiveness of your stabiliser system, leading to increased caravan sway and a less secure towing experience. This compromises safety.

Can I clean the friction pads?

You can clean them with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using any cleaning agents, lubricants, or water, as these can degrade the friction material and reduce performance.

Troubleshooting

Stabiliser is not providing enough friction

Check if the friction pads are worn out and need replacement. Ensure the pads are correctly seated and that the towball is clean and free from grease or debris.

Squeaking or unusual noises from the stabiliser

This can sometimes occur if the pads are new and bedding in, or if they are dirty. Ensure the towball is clean. If noise persists, check for proper pad alignment and consider if replacement is needed.

Difficulty engaging or disengaging the stabiliser

Ensure the towball is clean and free of any foreign material. Check that the friction pads are not excessively worn or damaged, which could impede smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These friction pads are specifically designed for AL-KO AKS 2000, AKS 2004, and AKS 3004 stabiliser systems. Ensure your stabiliser model matches this specification before purchasing. The part number is 1220755.

Setup: Replacement of friction pads typically requires careful disassembly of the stabiliser head. It is recommended to consult your AL-KO AKS manual for detailed installation instructions. Ensure the new pads are correctly seated and secured as per the manufacturer's guidelines. Over-tightening or incorrect seating can damage the pads or the towball.

Care: Friction pads are wear items. Periodically inspect the pads for signs of wear, glazing, or damage. If the pads appear significantly worn down or have developed a smooth, shiny surface (glazing), they should be replaced. Clean the pads and the towball with a dry, lint-free cloth if they become dirty. Avoid using lubricants or degreasers on the friction surfaces, as this will reduce their effectiveness.
