‘The right decision’

Reinforced shock absorbers for | |

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.“

‘The ride comfort is outstanding.’

‘Last week, Marquart, a company based in Löningen, installed a dual-circuit auxiliary air suspension system in my Hymer Womo Type B-MC T 680. The air suspension system, as well as the professional and high-quality installation with preparation for MOT approval, including the current driving comfort, was and is outstanding. Mr Neumann and his team were simply fantastic! Thank you.‘

‘Top service. The motorhome drives completely differently – like it’s on rails. The staff deserve 10 stars. The price/performance ratio is unrivalled these days. Highly recommended.’
Holger V. from Rastede

‘The chassis is now top notch.’

‘Very friendly, excellent and competent service. In our new motorhome, we used to get seasick before the shock absorbers were replaced because it rocked so much. After our visit to Marquart, driving the motorhome is fun again! The chassis is now in top condition, even when towing a trailer. My recommendation: 5 stars.’

‘Absolutely fantastic‘

Reinforced shock absorbers for | |

‘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.‘

Absolutely fantastic – Marquart shock absorbers

‘The vehicle now behaves completely differently.’

Reinforced shock absorbers for | |

After ordering and installing the rear shock absorbers, I would like to share my experiences with you after driving approximately 500 kilometres. First of all, installing them in place of the old shock absorbers was very easy.

On country roads and motorways, the vehicle behaves completely differently in corners: there is very little swaying, and overtaking lorries is now no problem at all. In my opinion, an additional 10 to 15% stiffening of the shock absorbers would be an even better compromise. The shock absorbers are a real addition to my adjustable air suspension.

I also think that your front shock absorbers should be used as a supplement to improve the overall package.‘
Kind regards

‘Impressive from the very first kilometre’

Reinforced shock absorbers for | |

“I would like to share some feedback about my experience with the shock absorbers. I am currently travelling in Scotland and have been able to test the shock absorbers over 1,400 kilometres, 10 kilometres of which were off-road.

Fully loaded +/- 4.1 tonnes: after just one kilometre, I was already impressed – almost no swaying, the car stays on track in corners, no need to steer.

Crosswinds on the motorway at 100 km/h, no more swaying and no constant steering adjustments – it stays in its lane here too.

Off-road, no more rocking here either, pure pleasure.

My wife, who knows nothing about cars and doesn’t usually notice things like this, said after just one kilometre that she could feel the difference straight away.

Conclusion: I feel much safer on the road. I will gladly recommend them to others.

‘Good evening, Andreas, how are you? I just wanted to say that the shock absorbers are fantastic! The handling has completely changed for the better, thank you very much!’

‘Perfect!!! We have installed the reinforced dampers on both axles of our RMB / Sprinter 4.9-tonne motorhome. It now drives as if on rails and is very comfortable, well tuned. Even when fully loaded with 1 tonne, it’s consistent. Time and time again!!’

‘I’m very happy with the driving behaviour.’

‘Hello Mr Wördemann, just wanted to get back to you. I installed the dampers myself. Mercedes wanted €1200 net for the two front dampers alone, which I thought was a bit cheeky. It took me just under three hours for all of them.’

I am very satisfied with the driving behaviour. I don’t find it too hard, really nicely sporty, and the cornering behaviour is good – even at higher speeds.’
