The pinnacle of suspension performance is being shifted to a new apex with Van Compass new inverted front struts, co-developed with Falcon. Not content with the mediocre performance, lack of tuning ability, and hit or miss service life of existing strut options, Van Compass looked outside their space to the world of motorsports for inspiration on how to solve this complex problem. Their all new, inverted damper strut is designed exactly to our fitment and tuning specifications and 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 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:
Due to the strut's ideal position near the wheel, VC were able to maximumize 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.
Their proprietary 'Rate Cup' retains the OEM upper strut bushing for ease of installation and retention of OEM NVH characteristics. The patent pending Rate Cup preloads the bushing for tighter road feel, while dispersing the damping forces over the entire surface area of the bushing to prevent annoying clunks and premature bushing wear common with competing solutions.
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 the Striker lift kits.
NOTE: Vans with shock brackets made before October 2022 will either need their brackets modified, or the latest revision of upper shock brackets
