Old Man Emu Suspension:

The emu - a unique bird native to Australia - cannot fly due to its massive size, but have you ever seen one of these amazing creatures run? Their powerful legs absorb most of the impact, allowing them to move over all types of terrain with the greatest of ease while their bodies remain virtually motionless.

This is what Old Man Emu strives to acheive with its range of fully integrated 4x4 shocks and suspension systems.

Vehicle suspension, especially when referring to 4WDs, is complex to say the least. Determining the right solution for each vehicle requires special attention to many factors, with weight being the most critical. A single suspension system designed to suit a multitude of users simply isn't practical, as each user's preferenceswill dictate how the vehicle is outfitted and used. Despite these diefferences, most aftermarket suspension systems are only available in a single configuration, with lift height often being your only option.

Old Man Emu is different.

Instead of offering a compilation of parts that have been chosen primarily to increase the vehicle's ride height, OME offers a range of tuned and matched integrated systems each offerring varying degrees of comfort, load carrying capability & control characteristics. The components are designed by ARB with an unrelenting, no compromise approach.

Shock absorbers and springs for each new vehicle start off as prototypes, and are tested and modified in a variety of terrains and with varying loads. These trials and modifications can take weeks of testing in order to ensure the best possible combination for each application.

ARB tests and modifies, and continues to do so for as long as it takes to ensure each shock and spring combination is totally at one with the vehicle, its varying weights and the varying terrain it's to encounter.
