    Help - Alko Stabiliser Hitch AKS3004

    Hi, I had the same problem and even when standing on the arm it was almost impossible to engage. I ended up taking it to the dealer who agreed there was something badly amiss. It was repaired quite simply by replacing bearings in it, which suprised me as it was only a year old and had always...
