Default Re: loose towbar?? bad or normal

I'd be removing the tongue and cleaning both mating surfaces, making sure they are flat. Bugger filling any gap up with washers or anything else. It'd be a receipe for disaster.


Check the bolts aren't stripping out and put longer bolts with nuts on them, if necessary. Make sure they're HT bolts too.

Please read the manual carefully, as the these manufacturers spent millions of dollars making sure it is perfect.....Now why are there so many problems with my car, when I follow the instructions to the letter?....Answer, majority rules round here


Lock me up and throw away the key because I'm a hoon....I got caught doing 59 in a 60 zone
