“I am very impressed“
“Yesterday I was able to install the new shock absorbers and also make a small but meaningful test drive. Our Iveco Daily 4×4 VM90 has a loaded weight of 2.5 tonnes on the rear axle and 1.8 tonnes on the front axle, which, when driving with the original shock absorbers, was previously no fun on winding roads and/or potholed roads. On our journey through Albania, the car regularly rocked so much on the roads and tracks that I sometimes had to brake down to 20 km/h. In bends, especially in roundabouts, it tilted so much over the front wheel suspension on the outside that I sometimes only moved at 10-15 km/h.
With the new dampers, that’s a thing of the past. Despite worn torsion bar springs, rubber bushings at the front and leaf springs at the rear, which have seen better days (both of which are replaced in winter), the driving behaviour is significantly improved. Potholes on the dirt roads are simply swallowed up by the dampers. I was very impressed. Next year, with new torsion bar springs, bushings and leaf springs, I expect a further improvement in handling. Thanks at this point for the quick and professional advice.“ Jörg Z. from Horgenzell
