Alko Stabaliser

[Russ2]

For many years I have used the Snakemaster blade type stabaliser, and have always been happy with it.

Is it worth the expense of changing to the latest Alko type? i.e. are they that much more efficient. Cost is likely to be around £220 plus new lock at a further £60 - £70.

The reason this has come about is that I am changing my car and will probably have a detachable ball, so would be more convenient to have the built in stabaliser.

Any comments much appreciated

In principle the integrated type stabiliser like the AlKo need not necessarily be any more efficient than a good blade type but they are so much more convenient to use.

Agree with Lutz, the main benefit of the AL-KO (or Winterhoff) stabiliser coupling is the convenience of use.

In terms of the stability offered, you shouldn't experience any noticeable difference - both tyres offer the same (near identical) level of resistance to fishtailing.

We have an AL-KO stabiliser coupling and use it with our detachable tow-ball, and it works as described - easy to couple up.

Thanks for the replies and comments, I think I will go for the Alko stabaliser.
