Will A Different Shape Or Style Of Equalizer Be A Problem On My 2006 Zinger Trailer?
Question:
We recently found the shackle plates on our 2006 Zinger had failed. I went ahead and purchased a heavy duty upgrade and installed it easily. However, I noticed towards the end of the project the old equalizer was triangular and the replacement was curved. Outside of the difference in height, is there a reason for concern? Everything else was in spec.

Expert Reply:
There is no reason for concern based on the equalizer replacement being curved versus triangle shape on your 2006 Zinger trailer. It is just a different style that will function very similarly. It is very common to have a style difference and height difference when replacing equalizers, but as long as your other components were in spec as you stated, you shouldn't have any issues. It will not change how your system functions.
