Improve Caravan Stability with these  Genuine AL-KO Side Friction Pads and shims

Keep your caravan towing safely and smoothly with replacement AL-KO side friction pads, designed to restore grip and stabiliser performance on your hitch.

These pads sit on the left and right sides of your stabiliser hitch, gripping the towball when the handle is engaged to reduce snaking and improve control while towing.

🔧 Why Choose Genuine AL-KO Side Friction Pads?

The side friction pads play a vital role in the performance of your AL-KO AKS 2004/3004 stabiliser, helping to reduce snaking and improve towing stability. Genuine AL-KO replacement pads are manufactured to precise tolerances using the correct friction material, ensuring consistent contact and reliable stabilising performance. While cheaper copy parts may appear similar, they can wear more quickly, provide inconsistent grip, and compromise towing performance. Using genuine AL-KO parts helps maintain the effectiveness and safety of your stabiliser system every time you tow.

🚐 Why Replace Your Side Friction Pads?

Over time, friction pads can become:

• Worn or smooth

• Contaminated with grease or dirt

• Less effective at stabilising your caravan

Replacing them helps:

• Restore proper grip on the towball

• Reduce unwanted movement or sway
