Solution for Rough Activating Model 10 Surge Brake Actuator

Question:

Can you adjust the brake actuator? When the truck goes to stop it hits hard on the ball or truck, even when the truck brakes are being applied easy . Thank you for your help

I wish there was a way to adjust the braking application of a surge brake actuator but that's not possible. Is it possible yours has a bad shock? How old is it?

A lot of times a bad shock is the real reason a surge brake setup activates roughly.

If you had a Model 10 actuator like the one you referenced the correct shock would be part # T1242600.
