Al-KO Standard Tandem Replacement Steel Spring Rocker Bush – 18mm ID

AL-KO standard tandem suspension rockers are standard on many caravans. However, AL-KO does not make a replacement bush for their rocker arm.

This meant repairers had to purchase a new rocker, rather than just replacing the worn area. In our experience, the units themselves last a decent length of time. In almost all cases, the centre bush is the first to wear.

As such, Couplemate™ manufactured this 18mm steel bush as an alternative to replacing the whole assembly, wherein only the bush has worn.

Rocker Arm Bush Installation

Remove the old bush by placing the new bush over the top of the old bush.
Ensure there is room under the old bush to push it out.
Tap the new bush with a hammer until the old bush is entirely expelled from the rocker arm.

Key Benefits

Given their material composition, steel bushes are robust and provide shackle bolts with a smooth, wear-resistant surface.

As with all steel-on-steel applications, you will need a greaseable shackle bolt and regular application of trailer lubricant. While maintenance can be tedious, proper greasing significantly improves the quality of your ride and ensures you maximise the life of your rocker-roller.

What You Should Check Before

This is a cylindrical steel bush with an 18mm ID, a 22 mm OD, and a total length of 59 mm. Please ensure these measurements match yours.

Moreover, you must inspect:

The suspension bolts, nuts, and roller spring bushes (including the 60mm rollers).
The integrity of your rocker and hanger bolt holes.
The rocker-roller leaf springs themselves.

Couplemate™ recommends replacing components that show signs of elongation or excess wear. Standard spare parts for rocker-roller systems include:
