Al-KO Friction Pad Kit

AL-KO Friction Pad Kit – Replacement Stabiliser Pads for AKS Hitches

The AL-KO Friction Pad Kit is a genuine replacement stabiliser pad set designed to maintain optimal towing performance on caravans fitted with popular AL-KO AKS stabiliser couplings such as AKS 2000, AKS 2500, AKS 2700, AKS 2004 and AKS 3004. By replacing worn or contaminated friction pads, this kit restores smooth contact between the stabiliser and tow ball, helping to reduce lateral sway, vibration and noise during towing for a safer, more comfortable journey.

These friction pads are made from high-density friction material with included plastic caps and shims to ensure a secure fit and reliable performance across a wide range of AL-KO stabiliser models.

Key Features & Benefits

• ✔️ Genuine AL-KO Spare Part – guaranteed fit and quality.

• ✔️ Wide AKS Compatibility – fits AKS 2000, 2500, 2700, 2004 and 3004 stabilisers (side pads only on some AKS 2004/3004 applications).

• ✔️ Includes Caps & Shims – upgraded black plastic caps plus shims for precise installation.

• ✔️ Improves Towing Stability – restores robust friction to reduce sway and make towing calmer and more controlled.

• ✔️ Easy DIY Fitment – simply replace old pads following stabiliser instructions.

• ✔️ Durable Construction – high-density friction material designed to withstand prolonged use.

Why Replace Your Stabilizer Pads?

Over time, stabilizer friction pads can wear down, become glazed with contamination or lose effectiveness, leading to:

• Increased sway and snaking behind the tow vehicle

• Excessive vibration or weird noises from the hitch

• Less effective drag and torque control

Fitting fresh friction pads keeps your caravan’s AL-KO AKS stabiliser functioning correctly, promoting safer towing, better road handling and more confidence on long journeys.

Compatibility & Fitment Guide

This friction pad kit is suited to the following AL-KO stabiliser models:

Note: This kit replaces side friction pads on AKS 2004/3004 units — for full front/rear friction pad sets on some 3004 variants, see compatible alternatives below.

What’s Included

• 2 x high-density friction pads

• 2 x upgraded black plastic caps

• Set of precision shims for correct spacing

(Front and rear pads sold separately on some AKS models — check your stabiliser head design.)

How Friction Pads Work

Friction pads are fitted inside the stabiliser head against the towball. When your caravan is hitched and on the move, these pads press against the towball to create controlled resistance, reducing unwanted movement (like snaking or pitching) that can occur at speed or over uneven surfaces. Ensuring these pads are in good condition is vital for stable, confidence-inspiring towing.
