Trailer Brake Troubleshooting

[rdlangston13]

Its a part inside the a60 actuator. If all is working properly there shouldnt be a clunk. I get no clunking while trailering. I can feel when the actuator extends after it has been compressed but i get no clunking.

what does this "feel" like?

It really feels like nothing. But i can tell when the actuator is all the way out. If i had to describe it i guess i would say a slight tug

I can feel when my actuator extends all the way and then jerks the trailer along with it

My setup is pretty smooth. If your trailer is clunking and jerking its either that shock or air in the system

Yeah, mine is super smooth. I barely notice anything, other than the weight back there. I replaced the whole actuator assembly since I had multiple issues.

Brian, how did you bleed your system?

I always roll off the lone slow for a second till i feel the trailer pull. I dont hit the throttle like when theres no boat hooked up.

The trailer gives a slight pull and light clunk noise as normal but i have been in a few trucks that a heavy jerk and clunk noise and thats bad.

I used a mityvac...Easier to do with one person..

Using the mityvac, do you suck it through the caliper or suck it through the master cylinder?

Depends on the mityvac, I think some can do both(push from the master), my cheapo one only pulls from the caliper which is all you really need...
