Powerdown Shock Absorber for Mercedes Vito (2003-2010) [Front]
Powerdown LTS shock absorbers for the Mercedes Vito target the large fleet of Vito panel vans and people movers operating in Australian passenger transport and trade service roles. The Vito's independent suspension on all four corners makes shock absorber condition directly critical to ride quality, handling and tyre wear.
Based on a 35mm bore design with heavy-duty features, the LTS uses a large body where space permits and a slimline design where clearance is limited - ensuring correct fitment across the full range of LCV applications.
- 35mm bore heavy-duty construction engineered for light commercial vehicle operating conditions
- Excellent low-speed valving controls excessive body movement and load instability
- Reinforced arc welds on end mounts - prevents mounting failure under repeated loading cycles
- Multi-lip seal keeps oil in and road contamination out - extends service life significantly
- Large chrome piston rod resists side loading common in van and light truck applications
- Available in slim and large-body configurations to suit varying installation clearances
- Self-aligning bush kits available for straightforward installation
Signs your LTS shock absorbers need replacing: Increased body sway when cornering or changing lanes under load, nose dive under braking, tyre cupping or uneven wear across the tread, oil leaking from the shock body, or bottoming out on road bumps under normal payload. LTS shocks should be inspected every 80,000km or annually on high-mileage fleet vehicles.
