ARB Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Plus Shock Absorber

The ARB Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Plus shock absorber (also called an OME Nitrocharger Plus shock or damper) combines off-road dependability with smooth on-road manners. It is a twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged 4x4 shock. Each application is tuned for its vehicle, with damping matched to different loads and suspension setups.

Key Features:

• Vehicle-specific valving: Ride Control engineers tune the valving to work with the springs in the range. This often gives more than one shock option for a vehicle.
• Multi-disc valving: Six valving discs allow more tuning options for ride and handling.
• Twin-tube design: The outer reserve tube protects the internal components from off-road debris and stone damage.
• Heavy-gauge steel reserve tube: The 1.6 mm wall is described as 23% more effective than common 1.3 mm tubing.
• Nitrogen gas charge: This widens the operating temperature range and improves oil flow through the valving.
• High-performance oil: The formula is designed to resist fade and aeration.
• High-flow piston: It uses rebound and compression multi-deflective disc stacking on either side of the piston.
• Induction-hardened chrome piston rod: Built for 4x4 touring use.
• Sealing and bushings: A triple-lip oil seal helps keep contaminants out. Vehicle-specific bushings add durability.
• Dirt shield: An impact-resistant shield protects the shock from off-road debris.

The shock is designed to pair with OME vehicle-specific coil springs. Together they reduce body roll, sharpen steering response and give a more controlled ride. They suit heavy loads, towing and rough terrain.
