Alko Shocks just fitted.

[S-MaxJon]

I have just fitted Alko shock to my new Coachman Amara.Can't wait to get out and try them out.

What are peoples thoughts on these units?

P.S Fitted in less than half and hour and no need to take wheels off.

My '80's Sprite has shock absorbers as standard - I was amazed to learn that they are apparently not fitted on modern vans.

Surely they should improve the toweability, thus reducing the need for fancy stability devices!

We have been told for years that the Alko rubber suspension doesn't "need" shock abaorbers as its self damping

Older vans were fitted with shock absorbers as they use coiled springs or possibly torsion bar suspension

In Germany shock absorbers need to be fitted to allow a higher towing speed

I have fitted them(same pair!) to several new vans over a number of years for myself and the mounting points are already there on the Alko chassis

There have been so many postings about fitting shocks that Swift have now started fitting them as standard due mainly to popular demand
