Old Man Emu Suspension

Solution

Coil Springs

When undertaking 4×4 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.

Springs are formed on precision mandrels

Scragging before and after shot peening to prevent sagging

Constant and variable rate coils available for multiple applications

Coil spring end configurations designed to exact specifications guaranteeing perfect fitment to your vehicle

Durable powder coat finish

Emu Dakar Leaf Springs

Part of ARB’s integrated 4×4 suspension systems, Emu Dakar leaf springs are engineered to provide optimum ride performance irrespective of the operating conditions the vehicle’s suspension is required to work under.

Numerous spring options are available to suit a multitude of applications, allowing you to set your vehicle up for recreational or commercial purposes. Feature packed, a set of Emu Dakar leaf springs matched to a set of Old Man Emu 4×4 shock absorbers will deliver vastly improved ride, handling and load carrying capability.

Draw tapered and diamond cut leaves: Ensure the load is progressively distributed over a larger surface area, reducing the high stresses that develop at leaf ends. This provides increased ride quality and protection against leaf breakage, significantly increasing the spring life.

Bolt clamps and liners: The leaf clamps are bolted to allow installation of anti squeak nylon liners.

Fully scragged and load tested: Scragging ensures the spring takes a permanent ‘set’ which reduces the risk of sagging. Load testing ensures the spring meets the required specification.

Military wrap: Designed to provide added safety.

Anti friction pads: Regreasable nylon interleaf liners reduce friction at the leaf tips where the load is the greatest.

Flat axle seat area: Allows a positive, safe axle mount reducing spring stress and increasing spring life.

Shot peening: The tension side of all leaves is shot peened to reduce spring stress. This process can double the life of a spring.

Two-stage leaf pack: Featured on most rear springs for optimum comfort. When unladen the vehicle is largely riding on the primary stage, with the secondary stage providing additional support when a heavy load is added.

Torsion Bars

An important part of your 4WD suspension system, Old Man Emu torsion bars dramatically improve your vehicle’s ride and handling, both on road and off.

They are designed and set for optimum ride performance, while maintaining maximum wheel travel crucial to off road action. Our torsion bars work best when Old Man Emu coil or leaf springs are fitted to the rear of your vehicle, with bars and springs then carefully matched to our premium range of four wheel drive shock absorbers. Together, they’ll transform your vehicle’s suspension performance.

Manufactured from premium grade spring steel with a resilient powder coat to protect against corrosion

Precision drawn, dropped forged ends for optimal strength and integrity

Pressure rolled splines for precise fitment and increased spline durability

Hardened and tempered to exact specifications for improved performance

Preset and hardened to prevent sagging and increase life cycle
