ARB BP5160028 Old Man Emu BP-51 Bypass Rear Shock Absorber

The ARB BP5160028 is an Old Man Emu BP-51 high-performance bypass shock absorber designed specifically for Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series (76/78/79) rear suspension applications. This premium shock brings professional racing technology to everyday off-road adventures with its innovative internal bypass design and position-sensitive damping.

Advanced Bypass Technology:

Unlike traditional shock absorbers that use only velocity-sensitive damping, the BP-51 features revolutionary internal bypass technology that provides position-sensitive damping. This unique design routes hydraulic fluid through internal passages within the shock body rather than external tubes, allowing exceptional ride comfort at normal ride height while progressively increasing damping forces as the shock approaches full compression or extension for superior end-zone control.

Key Features:

• 51mm bore diameter for increased fluid capacity and superior heat management
• 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III 40-micron hard anodized finish for maximum heat dissipation and corrosion resistance
• Independent external adjustments for both compression and rebound damping
• Remote reservoir with floating piston design for consistent performance
• Vehicle-specific tuning matched to Old Man Emu spring selections
• Bolt-on installation with no vehicle modifications required
• Large Teflon-lined spherical bearings for durability

Adjustability and Customization:

The BP-51 allows on-vehicle independent adjustment of both rebound and compression damping, providing unmatched ride customization. Adjust settings to match varying terrain conditions, vehicle loads, towing requirements, or personal comfort preferences. ARB provides recommended baseline settings in the included user guide, which can be fine-tuned to suit individual driving styles.

Professional Engineering:

Designed, developed, tested, and manufactured entirely in-house by ARB's Old Man Emu ride control engineers in Australia under the harshest off-road conditions. The BP-51 delivers exceptional performance for both daily driving comfort and extreme off-road capability.
