We just picked up a 2011 Cedar Creek Silverback 5th wheel, so far so good. I am concerned about one of the equalizers on the suspension. Looks like the rubber cushion is pretty squished or worn. The other side isn't as bad. I'm thinking it may be a good idea to replace them? Tire wear seems good, and the same on all tires. Thoughts?
Dexter will replace them free of charge. Yours are shot. Send them that pic. I opted for a pair of H\D non rubber equalizers due to not wanting to replace them again in 24 mos.

Same problem. Dexter replaced them and have not seen a problem since. CHINA rubber according to Dexter. Best results were dealing with Dexter directly.
Those are the Dexter ez flex. I put those on two years ago and they had a problem with the rubber for a while. I got them replaced and the second set did the same thing in about six months. I finally got tired of taking my suspension apart and tossed them and got the trailair egua-flex and my troubles went away. Trailer even seemed to ride better.
You probably have the trailair equalflex system. I am not sure it is still available. Installed mine about 5 years ago and I also have one rubber squishing out. Not too worried about it. I keep a watch on it and it has not changed. You could change it for another brand. While your at it, install a wet bolt kit. You wont regret that decision.
