Replacement Shock Absorbers | Caravan, Campers & Trailers

Couplemate™ Shock Absorbers are specifically engineered to withstand tough, Australian conditions.

Even when travelling in cities or highways, Australian roads are riddled with bumps, potholes, and corrugated terrain. By equipping your suspension with our Couplemate™ Shock Absorbers, you minimise both bounce and rattle and ensure a comfortable ride.

Couplemate™ Shock Absorbers are a popular choice and used on trailers worldwide. Because of their robust-design and reliability, our engineers prefer to use these on all our Independent Coil Suspension systems.

These shock absorbers are a suitable replacement for Jayco, Coromal and similar AL-KO suspensions.
