Review on 🚚 REESE Trailer Jack 74410 - Heavy-Duty Swivel Mount with 6-Inch Wheel, Chrome Finish by Percy Haulin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

As for stability/shakiness

For those unhappy with a wobble jack, this is an easy and inexpensive solution. The problem is not in the design of the jack, but in the retaining ring that connects the swivel to the jack. There is a lot of play because the locking ring is the wrong size. The groove it goes in is slightly wider than the thickness of the snap ring. The solution is to replace the snap ring with an appropriate size. This is very inexpensive and takes about 2 minutes with snap ring pliers. You can buy the right size locking ring from Amazon. There were five rings in the order at a price of $5.23, the price changes daily. If the replacement ring ever starts to wear out, I'll break one of the remaining four that were in the box. That's about a dollar for a replacement snap ring. Right from the start, after installing the correct locking ring, the jack was as solid as we expected. Obviously, if Reese gave this product to another manufacturer, the size of the locking ring got lost in translation. If you have a digital caliper, test it yourself and you will come to the same conclusion. I've already done my homework and will post the product info on the snap ring. Here is a Revain product for retaining rings. Part Number: B00D2B4RJ4 Standard External Retaining Ring, Tapered Section, Axle Assembly, SAE 1060-1090 Carbon Steel, Phosphate & Oil Coated, DIN 471 Spec, 65mm Shaft Diameter, 2.50mm Thickness, Made in USA (5 Pack).
