As many owners are discovering, a heavily loaded van driven hard off road can stress the factory components beyond their original design parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom rutted Alpine 2-tracks, to the box canyons of Death Valley, to the rugged coast of Baja, owners are taking these vans to places Mercedes never really intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Baja Bracket Rear Shock mount kit is a solution Van Compass has developed to eliminate one of the glaring shortcomings in the Sprinter's rear suspension setup: a single shear upper shock bolt. A single shear bolt has its benefits mostly in cost and ease of packaging, and for a delivery van on the street with frequent fleet service checks, this isn't a problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithout reinforcement on both sides of the upper shock bushing, this puts a large amount of cyclical stress on the factory shock bolt. Over time, the bolts can stretch or come loose after long miles of washboards, and the bolt eventually yields at the worst possible location: right where it enters the threaded bung on the chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor our customers, exploring remote backcountry terrain the shock is a critical part of safe travel ensuring that the weight of the vehicle is kept safely under control in all conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Baja Bracket is a sturdy, precision engineered solution to capture both sides of the upper shock bushing and eliminate the dangerous fulcrum effect that causes a bolt to eventually shear. The part is laser cut and CNC bent from 3\/16 Inch formed steel, fixture welded to ensure accuracy, then powder coated for good looks and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA complete hardware kit and slotted holes ensure perfect fit and alignment on all vans, while a machined tubular brace dissipates the load of the shock safely throughout the frame rail. At Van Compass, we have the solution that won't leave you stranded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures and Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforces weak factory upper shock bolt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes all necessary hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with stock and aftermarket shocks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with stock and lifted vans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple installation with basic hand tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAssociated Comments:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: Please confirm there are no plumbing or wiring obstructions before ordering.
