Description
xTake the front suspension performance of your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2WD (2007-Up) to the next level with the Van Compass Falcon Monotube Inverted Rally Strut. Co-developed with Falcon, this high-performance strut delivers dramatically improved damping control, durability, and steering precision for heavily loaded vans and aggressive driving conditions.
Unlike conventional struts, the inverted design places the massive load-bearing housing at the steering knuckle while protecting the damper shaft and seal surfaces inside the lower housing. This configuration significantly increases load-bearing surface area and long-term durability—technology derived from professional rally and Dakar racing applications.
The larger damping piston compared to OEM provides greater control over body movement, reducing front-end dive, harsh impacts, and instability over broken pavement and off-road terrain. Enhanced clamping force also helps maintain proper alignment under load.
Van Compass’ proprietary Rate Cup retains the OEM strut bushing, preserving factory NVH characteristics while preloading the bushing for improved road feel and eliminating the clunks and premature wear seen in competing systems.
For drivers demanding superior front-end control, durability, and real-world performance, the Falcon Monotube Inverted Rally Strut sets a new benchmark in Sprinter suspension upgrades.
