‘The dampers are awesome!!!!’

The ‘rocking chair’ now drives like a completely different vehicle. We had to test its excellent crosswind stability extensively, especially on the AP7 Alicante-Valencia motorway. Bumps in the road are virtually ‘cushioned’ – it’s like night and day!

You’re doing a great job! I’ll pass that on!

Installing the rear shock absorbers was difficult because I had to get additional spacers for the shock absorber mounts at the bottom, but I found them at a hardware store in Aspe. Please let your workshop manager know; I spoke to him briefly on the phone last week during installation.

Greetings also to the shipping department, Löningen to Aspe in Spain in 3.5 working days, that’s unbeatable!!!!!

Warm greetings from the Ebro Delta

‘A new, safe driving experience’

The handling of my motorhome, a Bürstner Aviano i727 with ALKO chassis and very long overhang, was getting worse and worse, sometimes even borderline dangerous.

Through intensive web searches, various blogs, etc., I became aware of Marquart shock absorbers.

The consultation, comparisons and discussions with fellow campers convinced me to order the shock absorbers from Marquart. Just the rear ones for now.

Received, installed, test drive: absolutely thrilled. No swaying, no breaking out during fast cornering, longitudinal and transverse grooves no longer cause any problems – and that’s just with the new rear shock absorbers.

A new, safe driving experience.

And to perfect the new handling, the front shock absorbers have been ordered.

‘Now drives like it’s on rails’

Customer service is a top priority here. From the first email to the installation, we felt well looked after and received expert advice. Our Sprinter now drives like it’s on rails.

Thank you for everything to the Marquart team.
Ralf M. from Köln

‘Absorbs road bumps much better’

The standard suspension was spongy and rocked heavily along the longitudinal axis. It dipped heavily when braking. Now, with the Marquart dampers, it feels completely different. Much more direct road contact, no more dipping or rocking.

Marquart sent me the rear dampers again with a higher tuning level (4) to swap out. This improved comfort without increasing stiffness. It’s still a leaf-sprung truck with a short wheelbase, so it’s not exactly a limousine, but it now handles much better. Worth every penny!
P.S. I retrofitted bump stops at the front myself. Also great, will fit at the rear too.
Olaf R. from Erkrath

‘You can really tell the difference.’

“Very competent advice, good service, friendly staff. They even arranged an appointment for the necessary individual inspection at a testing centre on my way home. The already good handling of my Knaus Van TI 650 MEG 4-Motion on a VW Crafter chassis has improved significantly. The susceptibility to slipstreaming has been noticeably reduced and the directional stability has been improved. You really notice the difference, especially on poor country roads. The slight elevation of the long overhang is also very helpful.”
Harald A. from Wilhelmshaven

‘The vehicle drives as if on rails.’

“We had new shock absorbers fitted to our Hymer. 50,000 km had taken their toll. The test drive after the installation went well. The next 100 km across the Emsland countryside were great. The vehicle drives like it’s on rails. A super friendly team who took great care of us and our vehicle. We arrived the day before and were able to stay overnight on the company premises. Thank you very much for that.”

‘The Crafter is now much more comfortable to drive!’

‘Super friendly, young and competent team. Installing Marquart shock absorbers has really improved the handling of my Knaus Van TI significantly. The sensitivity to crosswinds when overtaking lorries on the motorway is much better and the suspension is a tad harder, but absolutely within acceptable limits! The Crafter is now much more comfortable to drive!’


Klaus S. from Bellheim

‘As if pulled by a string’

‘I never would have thought that the handling characteristics of my lorry could be improved so dramatically just by replacing the shock absorbers.’

‘The right decision’

Now feels closer to a car than a van to drive

“I upgraded my 2024 Hymer MLt 580 in two stages so I could assess the benefit of the individual changes. Three months and 3,000 kilometres ago, I had Marquart Rear Dampers installed.From the very first mile you could really feel the difference. Roundabouts were much smoother, with hardly any body roll. The low-speed sway that the Mercedes Sprinter usually suffers from was almost gone.

After driving for a few weeks, I felt that the original Mercedes front dampers weren’t quite working in sync with the Marquart rear dampers. I ordered and installed a pair of Marquart front dampers. A 200km test drive along some of the UK’s finest twisty B roads showed that upgrading all four dampers was the right decision.

The 2024 Hymer MLt comes with a third rear leaf spring as standard, and when you add the Marquart Dampers front and rear, the handling is completely transformed. I would definitely recommend this upgrade.“

‘Absolutely stable’

‘After driving our Idefix for 5,000 kilometres, I can say with conviction: “This car is perfect”. The car is absolutely stable in normal driving conditions. Whether going up or down hills, around bends or in windy conditions. I’m always amazed at how it still pulls through on the mountain with its 3.5 tonnes. You can drive in a relaxed manner. The overall package of reinforced springs, shock absorbers and air suspension harmonises perfectly. Although I’ve only driven it on the road so far, I’m confident it can handle a lot off-road too. With that in mind, stay healthy, everyone.‘
