Replacing the Shock Absorber on a Titan Model 60 Actuator

Updated 07/03/2019 | Published 07/02/2019

Question:

I want to replace the shock absorber T2336200 on a Titan Model 60 hitch/coupler. When I undo the bolts on the old one, is the absorber under any type of hydraulic or mechanical load that that will cause it to expand or contract when the bolts are removed? What about the new absorber? Is it shipped compressed? If yes, how is it safely expanded to match the distance between the bolt holes?

The current shock absorber on your Titan Model 60 actuator won't be under any kind of pressure so it is simply a matter of taking the actuator apart to get at the absorber.

The Replacement Shock Absorber for Titan Model 60 Brake Actuators # T2336200 may need to be slightly compressed when you fit it into the actuator but this is something that can be done by hand. It should be fully expanded when you receive it so you won't have to worry about expanding it for the installation.
