Description
xThe Falcon 3.3 Fast Adjust Inverted Rally Strut for Sprinter 2WD represents a major leap forward in suspension performance for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter platform. Co-developed by Van Compass and Falcon Shocks, this system brings race-proven inverted damper technology—inspired by Dakar and World Rally Championship vehicles—to real-world vans that demand durability, control, and consistency.
Unlike conventional struts, the inverted design places the load-bearing damper body inside a massive lower housing, dramatically increasing strength, protecting critical sealing surfaces, and improving long-term reliability. A larger damping piston, greater clamping force, and 10-position Fast Adjust compression control deliver precise tuning for changing loads, terrain, and driving conditions—allowing your Sprinter’s suspension to work to its full potential on pavement and off road.
Van Compass’ proprietary Rate Cup retains the OEM strut bushing, preserving factory NVH characteristics while preloading the bushing to eliminate clunks and premature wear common with other aftermarket solutions. The result is confident handling, improved stability, and a suspension system built to thrive under demanding use.
