Key Features & Benefits

This little piece basically extends the reach of your trailer brake control arm where it connects to the brake chamber. It lets you adjust that connection point, giving you more leverage and a more precise push on the brake shoes inside the trailer. It's a simple threaded piece that fits between the control arm and the chamber. Think of it like this – your brake controller in the truck sends a signal, that signal travels down to the trailer, and this part is the connection that actually makes the trailer brakes work. It’s part of the system that translates the signal into stopping power. It's specifically for air brake systems on trailers, so it's dealing with air pressure, not hydraulic fluid.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this gets damaged or is missing, you'll notice if your trailer brakes aren't applying smoothly or at all. It’s vital for getting a solid, responsive brake action. If it's worn or bent, it can introduce slop into the system, meaning delayed braking and reduced control. It's a pretty small part, but it plays a big role in safety. You can find these easily enough, places like Fixparts Online carry a good selection, but it's definitely something you want to replace if you suspect any issues with it.
