‘Hello Marquart Team, I would like to give you my feedback now that the rear shock absorbers and front suspension struts have been fitted to my 906 4×4 Sprinter.

I was already familiar with the quality of your dampers, as I had replaced the rear standard dampers with your dampers 60,000 kilometres ago. The bouncing over thresholds disappeared immediately, and the vehicle felt much more stable overall. Now the front suspension struts have also been replaced, and at the same time the rear dampers again, because we have spent many thousands of kilometres on wonderful off-road tracks.

And the result after a few hundred kilometres? Absolutely fantastic. Finally, finally, the front axle is working as it should. No diving or swaying in circles, no pumping in tight corners (the standard shock absorber dived, then pushed back, then dived again, etc.) with that spongy feeling of instability.

And today? Firstly, it dips much less, and then it remains stable in its position until you exit the bend or roundabout. Honestly, I feel like I’m driving a completely different vehicle.

In addition, even short, hard impacts are now absorbed much better than before. This is particularly noticeable on the front axle. Finally, shocks are really cushioned. The front axle no longer ‘falls’ into the depression and no longer ‘hits’ the elevation, but works absolutely smoothly and sensitively.

In my opinion, this is a goal that is not easily achievable with a heavy 4×4 Sprinter rolling on hard 245 BF Goodrich tyres with the hard sidewalls typical of these tyres, and a third leaf spring that also stiffens the rear. The comparison is certainly not entirely accurate, but the behaviour is now similar to that of a passenger car.

Conclusion: I am completely satisfied with the conversion to Marquart dampers. Many thanks to your company and the team.‘
