Rattling AL-KO hitch assembly
I posted on here last week about a Bailey twinnie we had on site with a badly rattling AL-KO hitch assembly. The rattling wasn't coming from the hitch itself but the assembly behind it.
Since posting that, I have now come across several other hitches which are rattling quite badly and only last night I had the owner of a brand spanking new Coachman come to the house to ask if he could borrow my tools to tighten the towing bracket fitted
to his Disco.
But on examination the towing bracket was absolutely fine with every attachment at the specified torque setting, it was only then that I checked the tow hitch on the van and just as I had expected, it had quite a lot of free play and was rattling like a
good-un!! The owner said it was fine on motorways and smooth roads, but as soon as he started driving on cross country roads the amount of audible rattling was driving him round the bend!
Have AL-KO got a problem ?
