How I Removed The Rear Leaf Springs & Shock Absorbers On my Iveco Daily Camper Van. | Camper Van / Truck Suspension Improvements / Upgrade |.
Removing the potentially deadly Iveco Daily Camper Van Rear Suspension Leaf Springs.
In this video (part 1 of the rear suspension), I show how 'I' removed the worn / damaged / ageing Iveco Daily Camper vans rear suspension Leaf Spring ( although I was told that they were recently replaced before purchasing the van ) after discovering the potential deadly fault with the rear suspension. But first! I have to make sure that the Campvan is safely stable upon cribbing blocks. A new set of leaf springs along with the shock absorbers and anti roll bar bushes will be installed in part 2.

DIY CAMPER VAN CONVERSION - Iveco Daily - REBUILD!
In no doubt within my mind! The 2005 LWB Iveco Daily with over 317.000 miles on the clock (one company owner) I bought, was ready for the scrap yard!
Over a period of a year I completely renovated / restored / recycled the van, saving it from the scrap yard.
The second year it took, was to actually build the campervan you see today.
5 Years on and our needs and uses have changed for what we need out of the van.

Good job you heard that crack TBH MARK

@Iveavan Год назад

Yes, absolutely! I suppose having the van being stood since 22nd October last year hasn't helped either. Luckily the plan was already in place to replace the full suspension as I suspected it needed doing, even though I was told the rear leaf springs had been replaced prior to my purchase of the van (back in 2016). I think and it looks like, that these leaf springs are original to be honest, so whether he got mixed up and it was the front leaf spring that been replaced...... I don't know.... 🤔😉👌👍👍👍.

Coming in handy your videos at the minute mark with me having to do a load of welding to the outriggers...as you already know.

@Iveavan Год назад

Certainly a job I didn't want visit again bud, but at least it isn't as bad as last time bud. Good luck with yours matey 😉👌👍👍👍.

@londonjacks8371 Год назад

Another excellent video Mark, I have the same age van in MWB, still going strong, the chassis on these Iveco vans are brilliant, personally I wouldn’t have anything else.

@Iveavan Год назад

Your right! I've had 4 VW transporters, 3 Mercedes Vitos, 2 ford Transits and quite a few smaller vans like the Mk4 escort, fiestas and so on. Compared to all of them, the Iveco is built like an Tonka truck. They just need more regular maintenance as they get older, great vans, unlike my last 'Mercedes Vito', forever within the dealership with DPF problems 🙄... Cheers matey 🙂👌👍👍👍.

@paulthompson5416 Год назад

Absolute pain in the 🍒 Mark But no better place for it to happen bud, that could have been a real pickle if it was forest park or half way up a mountain road🤦🏼‍♂️ Great job and good to see you again 👍🏼

@Iveavan Год назад

Exactly! Very lucky indeed Paul. Luckily I budgeted for the full suspension replacement as I thought it was tired a while ago. Cheers matey 😉👌👍👍👍...

Good work there Mark! Think you ticked all the boxes so no one could question your methods 🤫🤫 There’s always one though 😬😬

@Iveavan Год назад

Yes, the middle block has all the weight of the van upon it, literally said that 5 times I think 🤣😂... Cheers Ian 😉👌👍👍👍.

@ian_morg Год назад

@@Iveavan I had my T5 rear shocks and springs changed recently to find that both coils had snapped! Didn’t even know until they came off! Upgraded to T6 T32 buggers so no more camper sag, should be good for a while!

@Iveavan Год назад

Yes, I've come across that before on cars, quite hard to spot until you have them jacked up bud 👌👍👍👍.

@MyScallan Год назад

Nice video Mark. Particularly interesting for seeing as I have the same van. My suspension feels totally shot, itstan awful ride, but I do love my to bits. Not having the skill you do would be too expensive to have this done by a garage. Good you mate!

@Iveavan Год назад

Yes, it wouldn't be cheap I'd imagine, but a hell a lot easier to be done upon a 4 poster ramp. Thank you Simon 😉👌👍👍👍.

@Astra8676 Год назад

Mate, this was one video I was feeling a bit anxious, in how the van was being supported. Anyway it was another good video!!!

@Iveavan Год назад

Cheers bud 👌👍. Perfectly safe though mate, I did explain regarding the 'cribbing blocks' and what they are (and with an link within the description to them, albeit the modern hard rubber cribbing blocks that's available and in use today). They are much safer then axel stands & we use them on heavy duty industrial plant equipment. In which I've been an engineer within that industry for the past 30 years (JCB & Jungheinrich) where I have more then enough experience working upon supported trucks and plant equipment safely with no accidents to date due to unsafe use of these blocks or inappropriate chocking. I had the van @ 3.5 tons supported upon blocks thats been 'tested and load rated to a SWL (Safe Working Load) of 15.1 tons in total'. I hope that puts you at ease bud 😉👌👍👍👍.

@Astra8676 Год назад

@IVEAVAN ...It has and I know you're a smart guy, its something that your not used seeing and the mind then just takes you on a journey ..... lol

@Iveavan Год назад

No, that's cool matey😉👌👍. and you're right, they won't be what you see in the normal world unless your within the industry to be fair. And of course, the safest way to do this job is upon an suitable 4 poster lift. But I don't think Dawn would appreciate one being installed out side the front of the house "🤭" 😎👍👍👍.

@IVEAVAN ...my wifey will be same!!!

@jamesward5721 Год назад

Good video - I find most Ivec's that come in here have a towbar fitted.. I chock the front wheels, bang the jack under the towbar, hoik it up in the air a bit (you don't need much height in order to work on the rear suspension) then bang a 6 ton jackstand in under the towbar while leaving it on the jack as well. I try get the wheels just a 1/2" off the ground - thats loads of "sag" in order to whip stuff off & means you can easily use another jack to twicker with the axle as it isn't a million miles up off the deck. I'm well used to crawling around under these with barely room to breath - you get immune to it. :-) When working on the rear, beware Iveco cleverly banged a lovely spare-wheel holder into the void on lots - which is ideal for splitting yer head open on due to not noticing it.. It is well-enginerded for opening yer head too as there are loads of sharp pointy bits on it. Also the old cunning trick of using a scissors jack to press down on the leaf spring generally involves that jack pressing against the weakest part of the entire van - usually well corroded too - which can merrily bust its way through, leaving you with more damage after you're done than you set out to repair.. so maybe give that one a miss... :-) I see other YT videos showing that as the way to go (Not you, Iveavan).... It kinda ain't. No.. Let's not..

@Iveavan Год назад

Cheers matey 😉👌👍. I've put the grey water tank in a position where it's handy to crack your head on it, so I'm not missing out by not having an underslung spare wheel on mine😅 the injuries are still potent enough though 😅.... Yeah, I think I've seen the same video bud "🤦‍♂️". But from the sounds of it, having a tow bar could come in handy for jobs like this, plus I could make use of one 🤔... 😉👌👍👍👍.

@jamesward5721 Год назад

@@Iveavan Towbars also fall under the same Category as Tail-Lifts... the engine will fall out before the tow-bar does as they are bolted on using the "If this comes off, yer man will sue us" Method - I.E All the bolts on Earth are used & they doubled the thickness of steel the Enginerd Report stated they ought use.. :-) Hence you can jack on them in full confidence that if it does fail - the other bit you thought about jacking on would have too.... If they fitted a towbar to the Isle of Wight, you could safely jack it up out of the ocean without a worry in the world of it buckling under the strain. The Boss of "Towbars R Us" would have over-specced it that much you could probably tow Florida with it & half the island would sh1t itself before the ball hitch did.. :-) The crash Investigators would find Florida still firmly hitched onto a busted off lump of the Isle of Wight and be going "Well, it wasn't the towbar failed anyway....."

@Iveavan Год назад

@@jamesward5721 "All the bolts on Earth are used" 😂👌👍. Yes, It kinda makes sense that it comes under Puwer at least. The testing methods of "towing Florida" 😅👌👍👍👍....

@jamesward5721 Год назад

@@Iveavan "Puwer" actually stands for "Please Use Whatever exceeds Regulations" - so you can be 100% sure if it got the proper CE mark, as opposed to the slightly dodgier "China Export" version (which amazingly looks very similar...) chances are you could hitch up to Essex & have a decent chance of towing it to Bow Bridge or even Chelsea as long as your chassis has not gone south.. if it's gone crusty, all bets are off. . And you best pray the 5-0 don't haul you in over a weigh bridge - Essex is going to be slightly over, chances are. It'll be fine - usually a large one... Payable within 60 days...

@geraintjones495 Год назад

Hi, had my front spring snaped 4 inch on passenger side it was still driving leaning slightly, one big job to replace but done now. Would recommend goodlong mudflaps on front and rear, I've got used truck mudflaps cut them up to fit they collect all the mud and shit otherwise would stuck underneath and rust the dam thing. When you buy a iveco you also buy a welder and a grinder.

@Iveavan Год назад

Cheers Geraint 👌👍. Yes, you definitely need welding skills when you own a Mk3 Iveco 😅😉👌👍👍👍.

@iwandernotlost98 Год назад

Great descriptive vlog Mark. My rear end has three leaf springs on each side, really stiffens up the rear end and helps with the weight. Those U bolts are impossible to undo had to cut mine to. Then almost impossible to buy ones long enough for the depth of the 3 leaf springs 🙄🤣. Look forward to the next one mate 👍 👌

@Iveavan Год назад

Them U Bolts, I had to drill each one out on the O/S. Luckily... I managed to punch them out on the N/S. I'm sticking with the original spec springs for the rear due to the air bags and uprating the front spring. Cheers matey 😉👌👍👍👍.

@paulvose3177 Год назад

Love watching these videos, takes me back to when I could work on my own cars and vans. Will you have to change the tyres if you upgrade the payload?

@Iveavan Год назад

Cheers Paul 👌👍, I'm not trying to uprate the van bud, trying to save weight upon this van build, but if I have to. Yes. But for now, they are rated for a 3.5t van (115). I will have to go to 116 if I'm to uprate, as it'll be 10kg short 😉👌👍👍👍...

@jimbossimrigs7961 Год назад

Great video, will be following soon for my 2015. Keen to know where you got your parts from Mark, as we discussed previously, i had looked at zepplin and a few places but also for the front leaf rubber spacers. Also your upper/lower arms, I have been using autodoc with some success.

@Iveavan Год назад

Every where bud, Ebay, AUTODOC are my mine source. I'll leave a link for each part within the next video. Cheers matey 😉👌👍👍👍.

@anthonykerr1275 Год назад

Love your videos Mark! We had a semi VB air system fitted to the rear of our Ducato campervan. We also replaced the leaf springs but on hindsight, I think I would’ve taken the springs out completely as I find they don’t let the airbags do their job fully. Did you ever consider just leaving the springs out?

@Iveavan Год назад

One option I could of gone for was the Iveco Dailys own air suspension but expensive. (sort of a swing arm with a air bag at one end) unfortunately I cannot remove my leaf springs as that's what's holding the axle in to place upon the chassis. 😉👌👍👍👍.

@thecorbies Год назад

Excellent job and video Mark. Any chance of the part nos. for the new U bolts? Regards Mark in the UK
