The shock absorber is a core internal component of a surge brake actuator, cushioning the coupler assembly as it compresses during braking and returns to position when braking pressure is released. Over time and repeated towing cycles, the factory shock absorber can wear out, weaken, or fail, leading to harsh or inconsistent surge braking performance, excessive coupler play, or a soft, unresponsive brake actuator feel. Replacing the shock absorber restores the smooth, controlled compression and rebound the surge actuator relies on to apply the trailer brakes proportionally to towing loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is intended for trailer owners and service technicians performing routine actuator maintenance or troubleshooting surge brake performance issues on trailers equipped with compatible Dexter actuator models. Installation involves accessing the internal actuator housing and swapping the worn shock absorber for the replacement unit, restoring the actuator to proper working condition without the cost of a full actuator replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dexter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e K71-758-00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shock Absorber Replacement Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Actuator Models:\u003c\/strong\u003e A-60, A-75, A-84, AC-84, XR-84\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 846983005614\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trailer Brake Actuators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits Dexter A-60, A-75, A-84, AC-84, and XR-84 surge brake actuators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Dexter K71-758-00 shock absorber kit used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The K71-758-00 is a replacement shock absorber kit for Dexter surge brake actuators, restoring the cushioning action that applies the trailer brakes as the coupler compresses under towing load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich actuator models does K71-758-00 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e This shock absorber kit is compatible with the Dexter A-60, A-75, A-84, AC-84, and XR-84 surge brake actuators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the K71-758-00 kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter K71-758-00 shock absorber replacement kit weighs 1.5 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the same as the factory-installed shock absorber?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, K71-758-00 is the Dexter replacement shock absorber kit made to restore the actuator to its original surge braking performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the signs a trailer actuator shock absorber needs replacing?\u003c\/strong\u003e Harsh or inconsistent surge braking, excessive play in the coupler assembly, or a soft, unresponsive actuator feel are common signs the shock absorber inside a Dexter surge actuator has worn out and needs a K71-758-00 replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I replace the shock absorber myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e The K71-758-00 kit is designed for servicing the internal shock absorber of compatible Dexter actuators, and installation is typically performed by accessing the actuator housing and swapping in the replacement unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this kit include everything needed for the repair?\u003c\/strong\u003e The K71-758-00 is supplied as a shock absorber replacement kit for Dexter A-60, A-75, A-84, AC-84, and XR-84 actuators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs K71-758-00 a genuine Dexter part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, K71-758-00 is a genuine Dexter manufacturer part number for the shock absorber replacement kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat category of part is K71-758-00?\u003c\/strong\u003e K71-758-00 is categorized as a trailer brake actuator component, specifically the shock absorber replacement kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this kit work on any surge brake actuator?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the K71-758-00 shock absorber kit is specifically designed for the Dexter A-60, A-75, A-84, AC-84, and XR-84 actuator models.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dexter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991263621339,"sku":"DEX-K71-758-00","price":65.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/Dexter-Brake-Actuator-Shock-Absorber-Spring-Kit-K71-758-00-with-spring-bushing-and-installation-bolt-for-Titan-UFP-brake-actuators__75589.1747363798.500.750.jpg?v=1785329091","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/dexter-k71-758-00-shock-absorber-replacement-kit-for-a-60-a-75-a-84-ac-84-and-xr-84-trailer-brake-actuators","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
