Video Transcript for Toledo Replacement Shock Absorber Installation

Today we'll be taking a look at the Toledo Replacement Shock Absorbers, for Toledo Brake Actuators. Part number, 1844-2. Now with the old shock you can tell that it's worn out by looking at the bushings for one, 'cause they're all cracked and corroded, as well as it really doesn't function the way it should and have the pressure that it should either. It's going to be really spongy and not really work the way they should. Let's go ahead and look at how it operates when it's new. Now us putting pressure on there, you can see how it has a lot of resistance and it isn't going to be really spongy, like it was before, so this will actually actuate those brakes a lot quicker and a lot more efficiently then that burned out shock would. Well the first thing we're going to have to do in the instillation of our shock, is go ahead and remove the shock and the hanger for the receiver that's holding it in place. We're going to lube up, the 2 nuts right here on the bottom, as well as on the other side over here, and the bolt that hangs the rear of the shock here on the back. Now we're going to pull off this last one here and drop down the receiver and the shock.

You can see that shocks completely blown out, but the bushing is completely shot. Now we're going to go ahead and pull out this bolt here, so I'll spray it down and pull it off while we use the same hardware. Put the new one in place. Place the bolt in and tighten it back down. Now let's go ahead and get it back into place. Go ahead and slide our bolt through and then out the other side.

We reattach our nut and tighten it down. Now we'll raise the front back up into position. Go ahead and knock these out a little bit, just to give us a little extra room to work, and lift it up into place. All right with that side back on let's go ahead and put our plates back on the outside, and place all of our nuts back on. And that will do it for the Toledo Replacement Shock Absorbers, for Toledo Brake Actuators. Part number 1844-2. (Video Information: etrailer.com, expert service, lowest prices, fast shipping.

Surge brake applies so smoothly now, hardly know the trailer is there.

Item fit perfectly on my m101a2 military surplus trailer. Arrived on time and in excellent shape. Once I set up the brake lines I have no doubt this will work perfectly.

Both the jack and the surge brake part are still performing well. I dont have any complaints except that the surge brake part must be painted to prevent rust. Other than that its good.

5000 miles on my equipment trailer. Brakes work as advertised. No problems, etrailer shipping prompt and complete.



by:

It was a duplicate of the original. Anyone looking to rebuild a military trailer with surge brakes would do well to check out this product.



by:

Product is exactly what I needed to fix my trailer surge brakes from from bucking. The brakes are applied and released too quickly with a worn out shock absorber, the only problem is it was very pricey!



by:

See what our Experts say about this Toledo Accessories and Parts

  • How to Test the Toledo Actuator Part # 16006
    Have you tried to tow the trailer to see if the brakes engage? If this is not an option then you will want to first make sure the master cylinder is full of fluid and then use a wooden plank to compress the actuator and see if that engages the brakes. You can also pull the breakaway to see if that engages the brakes but there is not a manual that I am aware of. If the brakes don't engage then you will want to look for leaks or check for broken pieces. We currently offer the following replacement...

  • Recommended Replacement Shock Absorber For Toledo Brake Actuators
    We do have a replacement shock absorber for a Toledo brake actuator. I recommend part # 1844-2. The measurement center to center of the mounting holes on this shock is 6-1/4 inches when fully closed and 8-1/4 inches when extended. The bolt holes are 7/16 inch diameter. If these mounting dimensions match the shock you have in your coupler, this replacement shock will work well for you.

  • Picking Out Replacement Actuator Shock for Gabriel MPD 85746
    The best recommendation I can give you since we don't carry the Gabriel actuators would be to check out the link I attached that will take you to a page that has all of the actuator shocks we carry. On the product pages for each there will be dimensions for each that you can compare to the shock you are trying to replace. You'll want to know the hole center to center dimensions when retracted and extended. If you can get me the brand or style of actuator you help that might help me find...

  • Replacement Parts for Balcrank 16006 Brake Actuator
    To replace your surge brakes there are a few things you'll need to know, the first being if you have drum or disc brakes. You can then choose the correct disc or drum brake assembly; you'll need to know your axle capacity and wheel size for either. You will also need to know your bolt flange pattern and drum size if you have drum brakes. You will then need the correct brake actuator and a brake line kit, which is going to be different if you have disc or drum brakes. I have added links...

  • Compatibility of Parts for Military Trailer
    The parts you listed will need to be compatible with what is on your M101A3 military trailer, rather than the trailer itself. For example, the Master Cylinder # 10614 and Replacement Shock Absorber # 1844-2 are for Toledo brake actuators; if that is what you have on your trailer, then these parts will work. The same is true of the Wheel Cylinder - RH # BP17-020 and LH # BP17-030; they are replacements for 10" and 12" single serve brake assemblies manufactured by Dexter, Bendix, Dico, Demco...

  • Replacement Parts for Balcrank 16030 Surge Brake Actuator
    Thank you for the photos. It looks like you've got an older version of the Toledo Actuator - 2-5/16" Bulldog Coupler - 6,000 lbs. # 16039, which would make sense since the tag says 16030. The available replacement parts for this series of actuators are the Replacement Shock Absorber for Toledo Brake Actuators # 1844-2 and the Replacement Master Cylinder for Toledo Drum Brake Actuators # 10614. If you can let me know what brake hardware you need- mounting hardware, etc., and the size of...
