Warranty

Van Compass takes pride in the products we create and we know the journey is as important as the destination. Modifying any vehicle does inherently carry some risk, and performance suspension systems on heavily loaded vehicles do require higher maintenance than low quality OE systems.

  • Due to the high performance design of our dampers, you my notice additional noise during operation like ‘clunks’ or ‘creaks’. These sounds are often associated with the design of the vehicle and do not necessarily indicate a failure or warranty issue.
  • Progressive rate leaf springs operate differently to factory style parabolic leaf springs. Due to their design, some noises may present over time. Periodic maintenance, lubrication and deep cleaning may be necessary to maintain optimum operation.
  • Operating vehicles in dusty, muddy or inclement conditions will reduce maintenance intervals and may accelerate wear and tear.

Our products must be installed professionally and according to the instructions, improper installation will void all warranty.
