Replacing the struts/shocks on your T1N Sprinter or any vehicle is VERY important, especially in a campervan that has a ton of added weight in the back.

Thanks for watching, let us know how your strut replacement goes!

The OEM front shocks take a 8 mm Allen key on top. The blisteins will take a 7 mm Allen key. Useful note. Just did this on my 05 2500 cargo 140'' - Dave

Great video, mine need doing so i shall use this for reference.

Thank you! Good luck with the install 👍

Nice I was just debating whether to get these or the koni’s. Think I’m gonna go with the Koni on my 118.

@madetoexplore 3 года назад

The Koni shocks are a good choice too

Hey just fyi, the stock shocks on a sprinter are hydraulic. Hydraulic shocks will not spring back when pushed in, only gas shocks do. So if you buy new shocks and they don't spring back that's probably why. Thanks for the vid, I used it a bunch!

@madetoexplore Год назад

Welcome! Thanks for the info 👍

@jonathankeerie9129 Год назад

Also i need to replace anti roll bar linkages front and back so was wondering if you had a video on changing these?

@madetoexplore Год назад

I don’t but it’s very straight forward. Would definitely recommend soaking the bolts with something a couple days before to help them loosen off easier.

@jonathankeerie9129 Год назад

@@madetoexplore Thanks for the advice. I shall keep you updated with my progress

@zambotv8150 3 года назад

Great video, bit it drives much better now then eh?

@madetoexplore 3 года назад

Much better!

@ratchetboo 3 года назад

I recently got new kby shocks for the t1n and they are easily pressed in. Are they bad shocks?

@madetoexplore 3 года назад

You’ll know the shocks are bad if you compress them, and they don’t extend back out.

@Homnom 11 месяцев назад

Did you have to change the top mounting hardware? I have a ‘05 3500 and have to change the top bushing over from the old struts

@madetoexplore 11 месяцев назад

The new shocks came with new bushings I believe

@Homnom 10 месяцев назад

@@madetoexplore ended up getting them on there, but had to throw some washers in as spacers. other than that went super smooth! fronts are going in this weekend

@philliptroutman3058 3 года назад

Were these shocks not adjustable? Was recommended the Konis, and would need to know how to adjust them to 75% of range.

@madetoexplore 3 года назад

The Konis are also great shocks from what I’ve heard. No the bilsteins that I put in are not adjustable.

@philliptroutman3058 3 года назад

@@madetoexplore thanks! And did you replace any of the bushings (people recommend for the front esp.; on the rear, I'm not sure but maybe part of the shock?) or any bolts/nuts etc.?

@ToothlessCroc 3 года назад

Where'd you purchase the shocks from?

@madetoexplore 3 года назад

I actually ordered them off of Amazon

@briannakagama5694 Год назад

Wow!!! You still have your jack! Mine didn't come with one. I really want to replace it. You looking to sell?

@madetoexplore Год назад

No haha I’d upgrade to a nicer one if I was you!

@elbruzzz Год назад

What is your comment and impressions with new shocks? Especially in Offraod use, did any improvement?

@madetoexplore Год назад

When I bought the van, the shocks were in terrible condition. It felt like the van was going to tip over on the highway during a windy day. So yeah they made a HUGE difference, especially off-road.

@elbruzzz Год назад

@@madetoexplore i have used the same front struts. But mine front struts bottoming out when i hit hard on offroad step. 🤔. Did you have such an issue?

@latency748 3 года назад

Hey dude - if you are still working on dip removal - grab a few bottles of dip dissolver from dipyourcar.com. My T1N was dipped by prior owner and this was a HUGE help for me.

@madetoexplore 3 года назад

Oh man I wish we would have known about this!! Thank you so much for the recommendation, we pressure washed it all off😅
