Australia's
unique driving conditions call for a different approach
to shock absorber design. Invariably, vehicles are heavily
loaded, fitted with accessories and driven on harsh Outback
roads for prolonged periods.
When developing shock absorbers, Old Man Emu takes all these
factors into consideration. This is reflected in the superb
structural integrity of Nitrocharger shocks, along with
the fact they are properly valved for the conditions they
will be required to work under.
This experience in setting the most appropriate valving
is what really sets the Nitrocharger apart from its competitors.
OME engineers have extensive knowledge in this field as
they specialize in nothing else but 4WD suspension systems.
When developing a shock absorber, consideration is given
to both original equipment and OME springs. In many cases,
several shock absorber applications will be listed for one
vehicle to ensure the proper match regardless of spring
selection, installed accessories or load carrying requirements.
While OME Nitrochargers will improve overall ride performance
when fitted with standard springs, more substantial benefits
can be achieved when fitted in conjunction with OME springs.
Improved ride, load carrying characteristics, and wheel
travel are all benefits of such a combination.
Used by 4 wheelers throughout the world, OME Nitrochargers
set the standard in ride comfort over any terrain and simply
outperform the competition. |
On the Toyota LandCruiser 80 & 100 Series, the rear shocks
are mounted forward of the axle. As a result, they have
a tendency to get peppered by stones thrown up from the
front tires. OME's solution to the problem can be found
in either a shock mounted stone guard or a lower rear control
arm mounted stone flap (pictured).
Everything you feel in your vehicle is controlled by shock
absorber valving. OME's 30hp shock dyno helps us simulate
the characteristics of your vehicle and develop shock absorber
valving to control it. |

Few products can
transform the performance and
ability of a 4WD like a set
of properly valved, vehicle matched shock absorbers. They are one of
the most worthwhile changes that
can be made to a 4WD,
with ride improvements
noticeable every time the
vehicle is driven.
