still trying to find a solution to my shock/strut problem my nmeda dealer says they can’t fix it ……… advised I take it to a suspension place that’s out of business
Does anyone know of a salvage yard for part maybe? or have a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan w/ IMS conversion that could take a picture of the spacer/rising sleeve so I could have them manufactured maybe?

Dodge Grand Caravan As Tom suggested, take your van to a NMEDA approved and certified dealer for an onsite inspection and evaluation. Best Wishes In a message dated 6/12/2014 6:44:07 P.M.

Dodge Grand Caravan Honestly, I doubt it. So much has happened since IMS built that van. Keep in mind they were purchased by the Braun Corp. That spacer was all part of the original design.

Would the rising sleeve be something I can purchase now? When buying shocks/struts would I need to buy as if I had a towing package?

Dodge Grand Caravan Back in 2002, Conversions were required to use only Caravans with the Manufacturer's Towing Package, with the heavier suspension package. Since IMS was not purchasing direct, they would convert most any vehicle. The repair may have used a short shock/ struts (without the rising sleeve) and that is why your van is scrapping on the ground. Best Wishes In a message dated 6/12/2014 11:58:02 A.M.

I had new shocks/struts put on it and it is dragging when going over slight incline and front end is bottoming out ……….. my struts and shocks were shot but it didn’t drag or bottom out until they replaced them. Now they tell me I need new springs. Anyone know if I need special shocks/struts since it is a rampvan with the lowered floor. Nicki
