This all-new, inverted damper strut is designed exactly to Van Compass's fitment and tuning specifications and is produced from aerospace-grade materials. Inverted dampers flip the idea of the conventional strut upside down and use the damper body as the upper strut shaft, while the load-bearing unit is contained in a massive lower housing that connects to the steering knuckle. This is the same application of technologies you will find on Dakar and World Rally Championship cars, which see some of the harshest driving conditions imaginable.
Major Benefits:
Significantly increased load-bearing surface area for long service life
Damper shaft and seal surfaces are protected inside lower housing
Much larger damping piston vs OEM
Greater clamping force for alignment specs
Due to the strut's ideal position near the wheel, we are able to maximize the effectiveness of the 3.3 Fast Adjust cartridge. The result is a truly phenomenal increase in damping performance, which translates to more stable and predictable handling, greater control across all conditions, and the ability to actually use the suspension to its full potential on and off-road.
These struts are designed as a direct OEM replacement for any van, from stock passenger vans, luxury coaches and Class C RV's, to heavily modified adventure vans. They are compatible with stock height vans, and vans equipped with Striker lift kits.
