Is It Safe To Travel With Worn Shear Spring On A MORryde Suspension System  

Updated 08/30/2024 | Published 08/27/2024



Question:

The rubber on one side of is pretty well gone. Is it still safe to travel on without replacing it. My trailer is 34 ft 12000 Everest fifth wheel.

Hey Paul,

You most likely could still pull the trailer if you really needed to even though the shear spring # MR35UR needs to be replaced, I just would make it a short trip and get it swapped out. A bad shear spring can lead to a rough ride quality and allow for more sway. At that length there's a greater chance for sway as it is.

The shear spring cushions the suspension so without it the other components will start to wear faster as well. There should be a number embossed into the rubber of the spring so I would check the other one to see if you can still read it to find a replacement. We offer the following springs currently but could look into adding more if needed:

11 # MR63UR
20 # MR79UR
24 # MR95UR
30 # MR73UR
75 # MR96UR
