Suspension upgrade

[Mike p]

hello, has any of you good folk any experience of upgraded front suspension on a fairly new campervan , thinking along the lines of a VB Suspension kit. Front end suffers from under steer.

What is make of chassis , BTW if FWD they all tend to understeer when pushed . What type of front suspension fitted ?

Hi Mike p
I had comfort springs fitted By SAP in Doncaster on my 2015 A class in 2016 superb Job and it made an incredible difference. Lifted the front end by approximately 2in and a softer front end ride. Worth every penny of the then £600 cost.

Hi it’s a Fiat Ducato, Auto-Sleeper Warwick, seems to understeer a quiet slow speed, also sits a bit lower at front. Manufacturers strut and spring

Hi I had a Autosleeper Warwick Duo for three years before my Pilote, it was a great MH apart from being to cold for winter touring.

Ours seems to be ok for the cold, Truma works well

Tyre pressures can be a major factor in relation to handling , as can ride height .

Thanks, I have reduced pressures from Fiats recommend pressures, and reduced the psi in the rear air bags, ride is more compliant just the front end not to happy with

Before you spend the dosh, weigh the front axle in touring trim OR at least with a full tank of fuel + driver and passenger.

Then obtain the correct tyre pressure from the tyre manufacturer. I've got an A class and run the front at 45psi.

Thanks, we have found a weigh bridge locally and will be doing as suggested this week
