A replaceable support member for a trailer coupling, the support member being intended to support an eye of a drawbar when the eye is secured by a vertically movable coupling pin, the support member thereby being susceptible to wear by the eye. At least a front supporting surface of the support member is formed by a elastically deformable portion, which has such a shape that, when the support member is arranged in a coupling, there will be substantially no gap between the front supporting surface and the front of the eye, so that, in use, when the drawbar is pushed upwards, the front of the eye will be pressed downwards, and compress the elastically deformable potion of the support member. By making at least part of the support member of a elastically deformable/compressible material, no gap is required between the front surface of the support member and the eye.
