The ARB Old Man Emu MT64601010 is a premium monotube rear shock absorber engineered specifically for overlanding and heavily-loaded vehicles. Designed for drivers who demand exceptional performance both on and off-road, this shock absorber delivers superior comfort, control, and durability in the most demanding conditions.
Advanced Monotube Design:
- Massive 2.8-inch (72mm) body with 2.5-inch (64mm) internal bore for increased oil capacity
- Internal floating piston (IFP) design separates oil and nitrogen gas for consistent performance
- High-flow digressive piston provides instant reaction to changing terrain
- Larger oil volume reduces heat buildup and shock fade during extended use
- 7/8-inch (22.5mm) hard chrome piston rod shaft for exceptional stability and strength
Premium Construction and Materials:
- Aerospace-grade 6061 aluminum body dissipates heat 15 times faster than steel
- Military-spec hard anodized finish provides superior corrosion resistance
- Forged aluminum body caps and rod ends reduce weight while maintaining strength
- High-density polyethylene shaft guard protects against stone damage
- Natural rubber bushings provide noise-free, cushioned ride quality
Adjustable Height System:
- Six snap-ring groove positions in 5mm increments allow precise height adjustment
- Provides 0-3 inches of lift when paired with coil springs (application specific)
- Single coil spring accommodates different accessory weight configurations
- Ultra-strong forged aluminum spring seat for maximum durability
Overlanding-Specific Features:
- Vehicle-specific heavy-duty valving tuned for extreme added weight
- Hydraulic end zone top-out provides cushioning at full extension
- Designed to handle dynamic loads from campers, toppers, tents, and rack systems
- Smooth controlled ride reduces driver fatigue on long-distance travel
