Illawarra Weight Distribution Hitch
Towing heavy or unbalanced loads can affect the way your vehicle handles, especially when braking, turning, or driving at higher speeds. That’s where a weight distribution hitch becomes essential.
At Bonetig’s Towbars & Trailers in Oak Flats, servicing the Illawarra, we provide expertly installed systems that restore balance to your towing setup. By evenly distributing the load across the axles, these hitches improve steering, braking, and overall stability while reducing rear sag and sway.
Whether you’re towing a caravan, trailer, or heavy load, our team ensures your setup is safe, compliant, and tailored to your needs. Call 0418 478 155 to organise a custom-fit solution today.
Smoother, Safer Towing
Weight distribution systems aren’t just for comfort—they’re essential for towing safety. When your vehicle sags in the rear, it can throw off your steering, braking, and traction.
A properly installed system levels the ride, making it safer to drive in crosswinds, over bumps, and around corners. At Bonetig’s, we fit systems that match your exact tow vehicle and trailer combo, avoiding the guesswork.
This upgrade is especially beneficial for long-haul travellers, families towing caravans, or anyone hauling loads beyond basic trailer setups. Stay safe, reduce strain on your suspension, and tow with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a weight distribution system do?
A weight distribution system shifts some of the trailer’s tongue weight from the vehicle’s rear axle to the front axle, balancing the load.
This improves steering, braking, and stability, especially when towing large caravans or trailers.
It also helps reduce rear sag and prevents swaying, making your entire towing experience safer and more comfortable—particularly on highways or rough roads.
Do I need a weight distribution system for my setup?
If you notice your vehicle's rear end sags when towing or your steering feels light, a weight distribution system is likely needed.
Other signs include excessive sway, uneven tyre wear, or difficulty braking. These systems are especially beneficial for long caravans, loaded trailers, or any towing situation where control and stability are affected.
A professional can assess your tow ball weight and load distribution to confirm suitability.
Can a weight distribution system damage my vehicle or trailer?
When properly installed and matched to your tow vehicle and trailer, weight distribution systems are safe and actually protect your equipment.
They help reduce stress on the rear suspension, lessen the chance of bottoming out, and improve wear and tear across the whole vehicle.
However, using an incorrect system—or setting it up incorrectly—can lead to overloading or handling issues, so professional setup is always recommended.
