Sprinter Front Strut Installation Error That's Dangerous

Описание: If you recently installed new front struts on your Sprinter 3500 van or Class C motorhome and now feel looseness, popping, or clunking in the steering, this video is a must-watch!!!!!

In this Tech Time Tuesday episode, we break down a critical but commonly missed detail during Sprinter front strut installation. Two small washers, one on top and one on the bottom, are absolutely required to keep the strut mount captured and your steering under control.

Because the Sprinter uses a transverse leaf spring instead of a traditional coil-over design, the strut serves as a key anchor point for steering stability. Leaving out either washer can allow the mount to fail, resulting in severe steering loss and a dangerous situation on the road.

We show precisely where these washers go, why they are often overlooked, and how installers can mistakenly leave them out, especially when swapping struts from inside the coach.
