Heavy-Duty KONI Front Shock Upgrade for 2003–2006 Sprinter 2500/3500 2WD (non-2.4L)
Upgrade the front suspension performance of your Sprinter with the KONI 87-2638 Heavy-Duty Adjustable Front Strut, designed for 2003-2006 Dodge, Freightliner and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 and 3500 2WD vans equipped with diesel engines. These premium strut assemblies are a proven upgrade over factory components, delivering improved ride control, stability, and durability—especially important for cargo vans, camper van conversions, shuttle vans, and heavily loaded motorhome applications.
Unlike standard replacement struts, KONI adjustable struts feature manually adjustable rebound damping, allowing you to fine-tune suspension performance to match your vehicle weight and driving preference. Whether you're looking for a smoother highway ride or firmer control when carrying heavier loads, these struts allow you to dial in the ride quality that best suits your Sprinter.
The adjustable rebound design also allows you to increase damping as the struts wear over time, helping extend service life while maintaining consistent ride performance. Combined with KONI’s heavy-duty construction, these struts deliver excellent control over suspension movement while still providing a comfortable ride on long highway trips.
If your Sprinter experiences excessive front-end bounce, body roll, or unstable steering feel, upgrading to KONI adjustable struts is one of the most effective ways to improve handling, safety, and driver confidence.
