Had bit of search with no real proper hits.
has anybody recently replaced their shocks if so what was used ? Originally had Gabriel's fitted which did appear to be soft when I pressured tested them by hand
Folks had the shocks replaced with some EFS units as suggested by caravan service mob.
Appears they are too soft maybe ok for bitumen roads but not good enough for roads the folks have been travelling. Central road through to NT around alice then through to
Cairns (no great rush)
I'm yet to have a proper conversation but that was complaint I received in brief call during this week. Im concerned they will carry on regardless and destroy both shocks and new tyres they fitted just prior to the trip.
Any suggestions welcome, all I could find was non specific info from the cruisemaster website which doesn't surprise me really.
regards
Dean

Well I don't have a Cruisemaster
suspension (
mine is TuffRide with air bag springs). But it does have EFS shockers and I reckon they are pretty good. They have been to the
Kimberley twice, the
Savannah Way, the CSR, Gunbarrel, the Ann Beadell and a few other bits and pieces and are still in fine working order. Not sure what you mean by too soft but I have found the trailer sits where it is supposed too. Frankly the more a shocker damps to control movement, the hotter it will get, the faster it will wear out. As long as things stay reasonable under control, I, at least, am happy.
