Rear suspension bump stop kit for MERCEDES SPRINTER 2018 TO TODAY Maxi Load:
Operation:
The hollow rubber spring is the main component of the Maxi-Load suspension improvement kit. It is not a simple massive rubber part like classic bump stops, but a masterpiece of design. The stiffness and progressiveness of the spring are obtained through a judicious design of critical dimensions. The main dimensions influencing performance are height (H1), outer diameter (OD1), and inner diameter (ID3). In addition, the difference between the two chambers (H2, H3, ID1, ID2) plays an important role. This results in characteristics impossible to obtain with a single leaf spring or a coil spring: progressive (variable) stiffness, self-damping by hysteresis, and perfect vibration isolation. But that's not all, because after selecting the hollow rubber spring suitable for your vehicle, its operation can be precisely adjusted using different spacers (dimension T); the moment (or phase) when the auxiliary spring should act, for example, empty or half-loaded, according to your preferences.
Original system:
Your vehicle is equipped with original bump stops
Weak leaf springs: not optimized for high loads.
Stiffness rate: linear, non-adjustable.
A small and fragile suspension bump stop prevents any brutal contact between the axle and the chassis.
The original bump stop is made of soft and cheap synthetic polyurethane, or solid rubber.
Poor driving comfort.
Advantages of this device:
The auxiliary spring is mounted in place of the original bump stop. Stiffness: progressive and adjustable.
The maximum load auxiliary spring is robust and works with the leaf spring, at no load or half load, depending on your configuration.
The maximum load auxiliary spring is made of vulcanized natural rubber.
