No, the rubber shear spring should not be allowed to completely deteriorate. This component is crucial for absorbing road shock and reducing vibration. The pin, also known as the king pin, securely attaches the trailer to the tow vehicle's fifth-wheel hitch using bolts and nuts, ensuring a stable and safe connection.
