Sprinter Suspension Service FAQ
1) How often should Sprinter suspension be inspected?
At least every 20,000–25,000 km or yearly; sooner for heavy loads, towing, or camper conversions.
2) Do I need an alignment after shocks, struts, or steering parts?
Yes—any suspension/steering work can alter geometry. A 4-wheel alignment protects tires and stability.
3) My van wanders in crosswinds—can you fix that?
Often, yes. We address toe/caster, worn components, sway control, and can spec HD shocks/springs.
4) What upgrades help loaded work vans or RVs?
Heavy-duty shocks/struts, helper or add-a-leaf springs, air-assist, and thicker sway bars.
5) How do I know if shocks are done?
Excess bounce, nose-dive, cupped tires, or oily shock bodies. We verify with a road test & inspection.
When it comes to absorbing the shocks of the road, shock absorbers do not take care of everything.
Coil or leaf springs handle the abuse of the road. Your shock absorbers handle the abuse caused by the rebound of the springs.
They both work together to keep your vehicle under control.
Many of today’s front-wheel drive cars have a strut suspension system that combines the control arms and shock absorbers.
A conventional car suspension into one unit, eliminating the need for a lot of other components.
