Worn turntable bushes can cause poor trailer tracking, clunks, and unnecessary wear on other components. The good news? A quick check can tell you if yours need attention.
Here’s how to do it:
1️⃣ Secure the truck & trailer – Park on level ground, handbrake on, and chock the wheels.
2️⃣ Grab a tyre lever – Place it between the turntable and the mounting point.
3️⃣ Apply gentle leverage – Move the turntable from side to side.
4️⃣ Watch for movement – If you see or feel excessive play in the side bushes, they’re likely worn and should be replaced.
💡 Tip: This is a quick check, but if you’re unsure about what you’re seeing, get a qualified mechanic to confirm.
