Caravan Shock Absorbers & Suspension Parts
Caravan shock absorbers and suspension components help stabilise the caravan during towing, reduce body roll, improve braking performance and minimise snaking. A well‑maintained suspension system ensures a smoother, safer and more predictable towing experience, especially at motorway speeds or when towing in windy conditions.
At Mallorr Caravan Services, we supply replacement shock absorbers and suspension parts suitable for AL‑KO, BPW and Knott chassis systems, as well as older caravan models.

Choosing the Right Shock Absorber or Suspension Part
To ensure a correct match:
Identify your chassis manufacturer (AL‑KO, BPW, Knott).
Check the shock absorber colour or rating (e.g., AL‑KO red, blue, green).
Confirm the axle weight or MTPLM of your caravan.
Compare the mounting points with your existing shock absorber.
Review the product photos and specifications before ordering.
If you’re unsure, a quick photo of your current suspension setup usually confirms compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do all caravans need shock absorbers
Many modern caravans use AL‑KO or BPW chassis that support shock absorbers, but some older models may not be fitted as standard.
How do I identify the correct AL‑KO shock absorber
AL‑KO shocks are colour‑coded (red, blue, green) based on axle weight.
What are signs of worn shock absorbers
Increased sway, bouncing, poor stability or uneven tyre wear.
Can I upgrade my caravan to use shock absorbers
Yes — many caravans can be retrofitted if the chassis has the correct mounting points.
