If can only be replaced with the exact same model.* * Unless another brand / manufacturer has a replacement but this is information we do not have available. Thank you

The Lippert Turning Point has a specific bolt pattern that only has one replacement so far, the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY48GR. This is a gooseneck adapter though so you'd have to switch out the hitch for a gooseneck ball for this to work. The torsion head will help reduce road shock and chucking transferred to your truck so it is worth considering, but you'll also be moving your pivot point back to the truck so you could run into clearance issues if you have a short bed truck.

Another way to help reduce chucking and road shock is to upgrade the suspension of the trailer. SumoSprings like part # TSS-107-40 and/or an upgraded equalizer like the MORryde AllTrek 4000 # MR29DR can help cushion and support the suspension for a much smoother ride quality. Upgrades like these are specific so we'd need to get more info from you to choose the correct fit, if you're interested.
