tow car

[david_374550078]

hi can you help

i have a nissan terrano and the spare wheel gets in the way when i hitch up.

i put a 2" spacer on and a new exended tow ball on is this to much as it gives me extra 5".

worried as this is to much over hang as i tow a twin axle with a al-ko stabiliser

please help

Only the towbar manufacturer can tell you for sure whether it has been homologated with spacers and/or an extended towball and if so, the maximum permissble dimension of such an extension. It would be illegal if it hasn't been approved.

i have exactly the same problem ,its ok if the outfit is in a straight line , i just leave the hitch down ,open the back door and lift the hitch up and wind the jockey down and lift the hitch up until it drops down then push the levers down , the problem arises when outfit is angled

if your bar is a witter, go onto there web site look up your bar type for the fitting instructions, the spacer allowance should be listed, it is for my xtrail.

It would be foolish to exceed the allowance.
