OZ Hitch failure.

[Bm0]

Just to echo the reports of good customer service...

I saw this article a couple of days after it was posted online... i sent an email to Oz-Hitch and said "should I be worried"

Para-phrasing.. but basically the response was "No.. But we will send you a new shaft just incase" it arrived a few days later

The load sharing part of the coupling is probably the ozhitch version. I bought a complete hitch and load sharing base from ozhitch as they were only one of a few that had the off-road hitch combined that
is compatible with Hayman Reece bars.
They are pretty helpful there, i might give them a call and quiz them on the unit i bought before Easter. I will post the reply.

I did give them a call, bruce was his name I think. Same response and nothing to hide. Spent about 10 minutes talking and i put the phone down feeling pretty confident about the hitch.

After a streaching like that, I would definitely replace the chains as well. I don't think they would take another hammering.

proper tow chain should be rated stuff and not general purpose chain. The rated stuff doesn't really stretch, it just lets go when its had enough.
I've seen standard chain used in a recovery. Stretched like you wouldn't believe and heaps of the links became welded to each other. Needless to say its snapped
