Hi ,

Can anyone advise me , the bush that runs along the threaded bar on the corner steady of my adria optima caravan has broken but I can only see replacements for Alko steadies. Can anyone help , I dont know if the Alko will fit a non Alko corner steady , if not where is the best place to look for the correct replacement.

Many Thanks

Mark

who made the chassis of your caravan? theres only really 2 manufacturers, Alko and the otherone whos name has completly gone from my mind.

if its an alko chassis, then surely the alko stabiliser spares will be correct. if not the other ones...

cheapest option is a replacement leg in my opinion.if it is alko you can buy a new nylon bush for about £5.

the only silly question is the one you do not ask.

I`ve had a look at the corner steady but can`t see any manufacturer name stamped on it . The metal Alko bush does look a little different to the nylon bush I took off so I`m presuming its not an Alko. I never thought to check the chassis itself , I`ll have a look tommorow

Thanks for the feedback guys it`s appreciated
