When undertaking 4X4 remote area travel, the need to carry sufficient fuel, water, vehicle spares and safety equipment invariably means that your 4WD will be fully loaded, placing a lot of strain on suspension components. As part of their integrated 4WD suspension systems, Old Man Emu designs a range of coil springs for each vehicle, enabling the installer to match the most appropriate springs to the intended application. While ride height increases are attained, emphasis is placed on ride control improvements. Further fine tuning is achieved when the springs are matched to a corresponding set of Old Man Emu shock absorbers, delivering a fully integrated system designed specifically to suit your vehicle.
- Manufactured micro-alloyed spring steel for strength & durability
- Development - To ensure we meet your expectations, ARB invests heavily in research and development. Our design and engineering team utilizes the latest CAD, CAM parametric modeling systems and finite element analysis packages, and is supported by subcontract companies and universities for special projects like vibration, strength and crash testing. With an air bag equipped vehicle for example, it is essential that the vehicle?s crush rate and air bag triggering is not altered when a bull bar is installed. Our exhaustive testing programs ensure ARB bull bars meet these requirements. We also devote considerable time and resources toward to sourcing new products from around the world. IPF lights from Japan, Warn winches from the US? we scan the globe in search of equipment that meets both the demands of our customers and our own stringent quality requirements. What?s more, we?re also constantly on the lookout for new ways to improve our business practices, from distribution to customer service. ARB is a Quality Endorsed Company, and wherever we can, we endeavor to ?raise the bar?.

- Formed on computer-precision mandrels to ensure consistency
- Why Old Man Emu - Suspension systems, especially when referring to 4WDs, are extremely complex. Determining the right solution for each 4WD requires special attention to many factors, with weight being the most critical. Old Man Emu 4?4 Suspension by ARB approaches this in a unique way. Instead of offering a compilation of parts that have been chosen primarily to increase the vehicle?s ride height, OME 4?4 Suspension provides a range of tuned, matched and integrated systems, each offering optimum levels of comfort, load carrying capability and control characteristics. The complete Old Man Emu Suspension range incorporates more than just 4?4 shock absorbers and springs. At ARB, we take integration to the highest level with our own selection of bushings, U-bolts, center bolts, spring liners, trim packers and suspension fitting kits.
- Designed to exact specifications, guaranteeing vehicle fitment
- Development and Safety - Old Man Emu employs a team of full time ride control engineers to carry out an exhaustive testing and development program on each component in an Old Man Emu Suspension system.
