As has been said by others already you really won’t know which bits to replace until you start taking it apart. If the van is new then all should be good, although we’ve had top mounts fail on new.
We keep all the parts previously listed on the shelf to be able to replace what’s needed.
If it older then probably replace all, and would be good practise to do so. Get it properly aligned - Hunter is the best and you can set it up correctly.
Suspension wise there are many quality kits available, and will depend what your needs are, you are lucky with the wide choice available- we stock most for next day delivery - Always happy to chat on the phone, and advise correctly and if too far away can supply only, or just help you with the correct advise.
Please make sure you test drive, if possible, what you are being sold. Only you can decide what is best for you. We run demo vehicles for all the kits we sell for this very purpose and are happy to spend an hour out on the road with you so you can decide. More and more recently we are removing kits fitted by others who were told they were the best solution, and unfortunately for their wallet were not. Or kits fitted elsewhere that weren’t aligned properly with excessive tyre wear - see our suspension thread.
Our team have been specialising in Transporters for well over 15 years now, so have tried pretty much all the suspension available and can give you a very well informed decision to help you. All of our techs are fully trained and will work with you during fitment to get it exactly to your needs.
Spending your money wisely on suspension will be, as I’m sure all will agree, be the best money you spend on your van without a doubt.
For further help see our socials - Facebook and Instagram, to see the many van transformations - should help guide you.

As this post immediately followed mine, I just want to make it clear to anyone reading, that none of my customers have ever had suspension removed and replaced by Bognor motors. I assume that comment is aimed elsewhere, but I wanted to make sure to avoid any confusion.
To date, my customers have been 100% satisfied with my recommendations, along with the service and prices that I offer. It’s also well known, or at least I hope it is, that all of my suspension fitting is followed with a full Hunter alignment and at very competitive prices too.
I take great care to listen to a customers requirements and ensure that any recommendation I make is correct for their specific needs. I never sell a product, or even try to sell a product, that isn’t correct for those needs.
Most importantly, I always put value for money first. Despite having access to the entire premium suspension market, except for Eibach, I never put profit ahead of value and, most importantly, the correct product for a customers needs. Most of what I offer is available for next day delivery also.
I don’t have an endless supply of demo vans, I’m a very small and relatively young business and simply can’t afford them, but my advice is always very good and will always result in a product that the customer is happy with.
I assume that my combination of service, price and accurate recommendations is why several of my customers return for further work, without having to go elsewhere for replacement suspension.
