Caravan Shock Absorbers
Your caravan suspension relies heavily on high-quality shock absorbers to ensure a smooth, safe ride. Prevent catastrophic highway failures by choosing premium, reliable replacements before your next big trip.

- Available Brands: Al-ko, Couplemate, and custom height manufacturers
- Compatibility: Variable heights based on tyre size and tent configurations
Are You a Proactive or Reactive Owner?
Reactive owners fix bearings, shock absorbers, and components after they fail on the road. Proactive owners replace wearable items before they fail, avoiding costly towing fees and holiday disruptions.
How to Test Your Caravan Shock Absorbers
- Remove the two retaining bolts securing the shock absorber.
- Manually pull the shock absorber open, then push it closed.
- The Failure Test: If the shock absorber pulls open quickly with little resistance, it needs immediate replacement.
- Visual Inspection: Look for heavy stone chipping on the body. A high volume of sharp stone chips can puncture the outer casing, indicating severe wear.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best caravan shock absorber brands?
Al-ko and Couplemate are widely considered the best standard caravan shock absorbers available on the market.
Why do caravan shock absorbers come in different heights?
While the standard installation height is roughly 300mm, non-standard heights are required depending on your caravan’s specific tyre height and tent height clearance.
How do stone chips affect my caravan suspension?
Accumulated stone chips act as a tell-tale sign of age. Over time, aggressive stone impacts can puncture the shock absorber, leading to fluid loss and complete part failure.
