Rear-wheel drive and a loaded cargo floor
Most Sprinters are rear-wheel drive, so a full load sits over the rear axle while the front end does the steering. Rear brakes, rear tires, and the rear suspension see more wear than on a car, and the front end still needs regular checks for worn joints and bushings. We look at both ends at every service.
Diesel Sprinters
Many Sprinters run diesel engines. Diesel maintenance covers oil and filters with the oil specification the maker lists, fuel filters, and the warning lights that come with modern diesel emissions equipment. When a light comes on, we read the codes and test before replacing parts. See diesel engine service.
Alignment for high-roof vans
The Hunter Hawkeye Elite alignment system sits on an 18,000 lb heavy-duty, long-deck rack, with room for long-wheelbase Sprinters. An alignment after suspension work keeps a loaded van tracking straight and saves tires.
More than one Sprinter?
Businesses running several vans can plan maintenance per van by mileage. See fleet vehicle repair, or compare Ram ProMaster and Ford Transit service.
