‘Your shock absorbers are amazing’

‘It’s amazing how a shock absorber can change the driving behaviour of a motorhome. Super advice, easy ordering – where can you still find that in our country?’

We drive a 2005 EZ Flair 920 motorhome and we have to say that if we had known about you earlier, we would have changed the shock absorbers as soon as we took delivery of the vehicle. Many thanks to the Marquart team for the expert advice and fast delivery. It’s a dream to be on the road with your shock absorbers.’
Stefan E. from Eppingen 

“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 

“An experience of a new kind“

“Hello Mr Wördemann, I’m back from my holiday. A journey full of joy thanks to my new Marquart shock absorbers!!! I am a very conscious and reflective driver. I can hardly put into words what has happened to me thanks to you.

The journey started from Ancona to Rome. I drove up passes on narrow, small roads in poor condition and down again on the other side. Some of the roads were very bumpy, and sometimes the road suddenly dropped off sharply towards the edge of the carriageway. It was a new kind of experience for me. The high stability and smooth ride were new to me.

Off to Greece. We continued through northern Greece, partly on poor country roads up to 1700 metres above sea level and back down to sea level again. Once again, I enjoyed the driving behaviour of my Iveco.

For years I had improved my suspension with stronger spring packs, a 6t stabiliser bar, additional air springs and original 6t Iveco shock absorbers and have now installed their Marquart dampers on recommendation. An incredible change!!!

Back from Greece, we arrived in Bari and travelled via Naples to Florence. As we drove through the Apennines, I often overtook 40-tonne lorries and whenever I came out of their slipstream, the incredible, newfound smoothness and high driving stability became apparent.

Once, when I was overtaking a lorry in the middle lane, a large panel van overtook me at the same time at high speed in the left lane and when I drove out of the air roller of the lorry from the right, I also got the air roller of the panel van from the left. My Iveco drove straight ahead with stoic calm and I had a completely safe feeling. …

I have been driving my Iveco Turbo Daily for 21 years and have now reached the end of a long journey of changes to my chassis. I would like to express my pleasure and enthusiasm to you. What a great product your shock absorbers are! I will recommend them to others with full conviction. With best regards from Lenggries.“

‘Thank you very much’

“Top from the first consultation to the end. I was first sent shock absorbers for the front, which I fitted myself. When I was still not 100% convinced, I was advised to increase the preload of the torsion bars. As I am a fussy motorhome driver and also come from the automotive industry, I asked Mr Urban to take a look at my Concorde from the perspective of a suspension specialist.

After I had arrived the day before and, out of the blue, my starter battery had given up the ghost, the appointment for the suspension check got off to a good start. Marquart picked me up together with the nearby Mercedes workshop, swapped the shock absorbers with me until I was finally satisfied and finally took back the previously installed shock absorbers. This company continues to optimise until the customer drives home satisfied. Many thanks to Mr Urban and thanks also to the Mercedes workshop Raters.” Matthias B. from Unna.“

“I am thrilled“

„I have now driven over 2000 km with the new shock absorbers. On the road and off-road. I am thrilled with the new road holding of the Iveco. It was worth the wait. Thank you for the advice and the great product. Many greetings from Latvia“
Markus M. from Zahna-Elster

“It’s a huge difference”

“Thank you very much for making the fitting of the shock absorbers possible at such short notice. Also a big praise to Autohaus Raters and the very competent and friendly fitter!

We are thrilled with the shock absorbers and the “new” handling of our Carver. It is a huge difference and also conveys more safety to the driver and passenger. So all in all, I can recommend you and your shock absorbers wholeheartedly. It is actually incomprehensible that vehicles in this price range are not equipped with their shock absorbers as standard. I will now experience the return journey to Estonia much more relaxed than the outward journey.”

“I am completely satisfied!”

“In the meantime I have driven 3500 km with the dampers and am completely satisfied (currently on Crete). Not only is the rocking over the front axle eliminated, but also the rolling behaviour is unbelievable or eliminated. Even with alternating excitation (left / right = throwing) on bad roads it goes to zero. Until now, I had to stop every 10 m, because the “car” was swaying so much that I thought the car was going to fall over.

I met an acquaintance here in Crete who followed me for 200 km on country roads in his Bimobil. He could hardly believe how my Phoenix was lying on the road and asked what I had done. He has never seen a motorhome with such a stable road holding – I think I have won another customer. Only the sensing behaviour (driving over small bumps in the road, e.g. slab bumps with a height of approx. 1 cm) is much harder than before. But you have to feel the increased damping somewhere.“
Gerhard F. from Rudersberg 

“My conclusion: Great!”

“The dampers were installed last week and I have now been able to gain initial experience. My conclusion: Great! The strong swaying has disappeared and the stability on the road is a lot better. This was exactly the right step and your configuration fits our vehicle wonderfully. Thanks again for the advice.”
Ralf S. from Köln 

“Our Iveco is an absolutely new vehicle“

“What a difference to the original IVECO shock absorbers. With the Marquart shock absorbers, our Iveco is an absolutely new vehicle. No body roll and bounce, no more slight bumps. Our motorhome drives / runs almost like on rails. Curves are negotiated cleanly and no longer require any steering correction. Before, depending on the radius of the bend and the wind, the body swayed and always caused a queasy feeling, at least for me. Now I have to be careful not to go too fast. With the new shock absorbers, driving and travelling is finally fun according to the motto: reach your destination safely and calmly.
Evaristo P. from Paraguay

“No more sweating!”

„Wir fahren seit 15 Jahren einen Niessmann Bischoff Flair 80001. Unsere Fahrten waren immer stressig, da ich mit dem Fahrzeug wie mit rohen Eiern fahren musste. Starkes Einlenkverhalten, starkes Aufwippen und erhebliche Seitenwindempfindlichkeit.
Auf den ersten Metern von der Werkstatt (nach dem Einbau von Marquart-Dämpfern) fuhr sich das Fahrzeug völlig verändert. Die gewohnte Strecke von der Werkstatt nach Hause brachte gleich eine Offenbarung. Deutlich spätere Bremspunkte, wesentlich höhere Stabilität beim Einlenken in Kreisverkehren und Kreuzungen etc.
Den Kommentar des Herstellers, Herrn Marquart persönlich, dass nach dem Umbau viele Kurven ohne bremsen durchfahren werden können hielt ich für sehr optimistisch, jedoch stellte sich genau dieser Effekt ein. Entgegenkommende LKW sorgen nicht mehr für Schweissausbrüche und mit mehr als 200 km/h vorbei krachende PKW auf der Autobahn erschrecken bestenfalls durch die plötzliche Geräuschentwicklung.
Ich bin mit der Entscheidung sehr zufrieden und werde in Zukunft das Fahrzeug deutlich mehr nutzen. Alle Erwartungen wurden deutlich übertroffen. Dass der Hersteller diese Konfiguration nicht ab Werk anbietet ist schlichtweg fahrlässig.“
Ralf G. from Saarbrücken
