Shackle plates are typically mounted on the rear of each spring; however, this rocker requires plates on the rear of both the front and rear springs.

To accurately locate the front and back holders of your AL-KO 60mm Tandem Rocker Arm, follow these instructions.

Locate your center hanger.
Measure the spring from the center of the eye to the center of the eye—for example, 710mm.
Measure from the rocker’s eye and add the spring length) 710mm, then add 25mm and clamp the hanger into position.
Repeat the process for front and rear hangers.

The spring’s loop points toward the rear of the trailer.

Frequently Asked Questions: AL-KO 60mm Tandem Rocker Arm

Get quick answers, installation insights, and maintenance tips for your heavy-duty AL-KO rocker assembly below.

What is the purpose of the AL-KO 60mm Tandem Rocker Arm? It links the front and rear leaf springs on a tandem axle setup, distributing the trailer’s weight evenly across both axles while absorbing road shocks.
Does this fit 45mm or 50mm springs? No, this rocker arm is specifically machined to suit AL-KO 60mm wide multi-leaf roller rocker springs commonly found on heavy-duty caravans and horse floats.
Does it come with the center bush pre-installed? Yes, it includes a heavy-duty, high-wear pre-fitted bush designed to pivot smoothly on a 18mm or 3/4-inch center greasable pin.
How often should this component be lubricated? It should be greased every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers, or before any major long-distance road trip, to ensure optimal pivot movement and prevent premature wear.

The Do’s & Don’ts of Tandem Rocker Maintenance

Do’s

Don’ts

Use greasable pins: Always pair the rocker arm with high-tensile greasable shackle pins to keep the system lubricated.
Check orientation: Ensure the rocker is installed facing the correct direction so the spring rollers sit properly in their tracks.
Inspect regularly: Look for signs of elongated bolt holes, hairline fractures, or excessive side-play during routine servicing.
Replace in pairs: Swap out both left and right side rockers at the same time to ensure even suspension geometry.

Don’t mix brands: Avoid mixing AL-KO suspension components with generic parts, as setups and clearances can differ.
Don’t over-torque shackle pins: Avoid overtightening locknuts; the rocker arm must pivot freely without binding.
Don’t ignore squeaks: Never overlook suspension noise, as metallic squeaks usually mean dry bushes or dry shackle pins.
Don’t weld on the arm: Never weld, modify, or heat the rocker arm, as this completely ruins the factory heat treatment and integrity.
