Peugeot Partner Tepee - coil spring assistors - Diver

I made the mistake of buying another Peugeot......

I have a wheelchair adapted Partner Tepee which delivers the most awful ride to parrengers and driver alike. The suspension bottoms out on the slightest road surface imperfection and as for speed bumps.... I have to come to a dead stop and roll very carefully over them to prevent grounding out. I have been advised by a friend who owns a Fiat Doblo that he had the same problem which he overame with spring assistors. I am as mechanically minded as a goldfish, so would appreciate some further advice as the only info I have read about these assistors say that they can cause the springs to break. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks......

The spring assitors that are more prone to breaking the road springs are the rubber ring type that fit between the coils.

I have used the above in the past, not very good. I have also used air assisted shocks,excellent, and air assisted springs ( air ballon inside spring ) these are very good or air bags to fit on the bump stops. You can also buy secondary springs to fit inside springs that take the weight , these are very good as they dont spoil the ride height but in your case as the weight is permanent I would contact these people,

I have used this company many many times and all the products have done what they say on the tin.
