Should I Replace the Dexter Zinc-Plated Straight-Tongue Coupler item T4853100?
Question:
We have this trailer coupler, its been on our trailer for about 10 years. We noticed this week the ball seemed a little loose in the coupler. Is there any adjustment on this coupler, or has it worn and its time for a new coupler? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
There's no adjustments or replacement parts available for the Dexter Zinc-Plated Straight-Tongue Coupler item # T4853100 you were looking at. If this is the same one that's on your trailer I do recommend replacing it if you are concerned about it coming off of your hitch ball.
If this isn't the one you have on your trailer, go ahead and email me back the part number or model of your current coupler and I will see if there are any replacement parts.
