Hi
Just wondered if anyone knows what damper I need for a 2009 Crusader and how hard are they to replace?
I know the information is below the plastics by the hitch just wondered if anyone knows.

Thanks
Luke.

Hi I’m looking to
Do the same in my 2006 crusader. Did you find this out? How do you remove the plastic cover, looks like a few rivets hold it in place

Hi sorry about not replying earlier, yes I had the Damper replaced. I drilled off the old rivets and found the information I needed underneath. Tried attaching photo but my phone signal is rubbish...

There's a company called SGS Engineering who stock all these dampers. There will be a number on the side of the old one. Contact them with the number and it'll be in the post.

I replaced one in a caravan years ago. It was held by a bolt at each end. I think there was a rubber boot at the front end which slid back to reveal it.

The terms "damper " and "shock absorber" are synonymous with each other - like car and trailer suspensions it should properly be called a damper but most people seem to call them shock absorbers.

Am I right in thinking you already posted about this?

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

Yes, I did earlier this month, was booked to be fixed while we were on site but that didn't materialise.. not easy to get at whilst in use. Now trying to get local service to do it.
