Suspension, especially when referring to 4WDs, is extremely complex. Determining the right solution for each 4WD requires special attention to many factors, with weight being the most critical.

The Concept:

When an emu (flightless Australian bird) runs, its powerful legs absorb most of the impact, allowing it to move over all types of terrain while its body remains virtually motionless. This is what Old Man Emu strives to achieve with its range of fully integrated 4x4 shocks and suspension systems.

The Difference:

Instead of offering a compilation of parts that have been chosen primarily to increase the vehicle's ride height, OME provides a range of tuned and matched integrated systems, each offering varying degrees of comfort, load carrying capability and control characteristics.

The Outcome:

Prototype shock absorbers and springs are tested and modified in a variety of terrains and with varying loads to ensure that each shock and spring combination is ideally suited to a vehicle, its varying weights and the terrain it is to encounter.
