    Ranger trail

    Anyone know what actuator is on a 2018 Z521 ranger trail? My buddies boat is slamming when he takes off from a dead stop and mine doesn’t. Looking for a manual to trouble shoot or find a replacement. The master cylinder has fluid in it and brakes have been bleed but didn’t seem to help it.

    Make sure the master cylinder is full, and no line leaks. I had a lose line and mine was slamming. I filled it up bleed the brakes and all,was,good.

    You can call Ranger Parts for the replacement actuator. But a 2018 still potentially is under warranty. Check with a/the dealer.

    A-70 or XR-84 is the self latching.

    I don’t know the part number but it’s not the actuator,it’s the little shock absorber looking dampener. They wear out after a while and need to be replaced.

    It might be the hitch sliding back and forth. Mine was

    Before you buy the hitch check the shock that is in the hitch. If its bad it will let it come in and out to fast

    Did you have fluid on the back of the tires or on the garage floor? I’ll check the lines but don’t see any sign of a leak

    Weird, but must have leaked on the road or whatever. I never saw anything on the trailer or garage floor
