PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONOLD MAN EMU SUSPENSION SYSTEMS:

Engineering aftermarket 4WD suspension is extremely complex. Determining the right solution for your vehicle and your requirements demands special attention to many factors. Unlike numerous aftermarket suspension systems, which are only available in a single configuration targeting lift height, Old Man Emu offers a range of tuned and matched integrated suspension systems to ensure the right suspension is available to suit how the vehicle is outfitted and the conditions it will encounter.

DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

The Old Man Emu suspension engineers’ objective was to develop an integrated suspension system for the Mercedes G Wagon. The key areas that were considered were lift, load carrying and comfort. After test driving the original suspension set up it was noted the ride characteristics were very controlled giving a sporty feel, however when larger bumps were encountered bump stop engagement was frequent. In general, the ride was considered quite firm. A 50mm lift was targeted as this improves not only ground clearance but increased suspension travel. This allows more scope for shock tuning and resulted in a more compliant comfortable ride while maintaining excellent control.

FRONT SUSPENSION

Springs: To maintain good vehicle control a significant spring rate increase over the OE was developed. 2 spring options were chosen to cater for vehicles with and without accessories or vehicles with different engine configurations.

Shock Absorbers: A development, tuning, and testing project was undertaken to correctly match the ride quality to the spring rate. A longer travel shock was developed and tuned which has resulted in a more comfortable ride while maintaining excellent control in all driving conditions.

REAR SUSPENSION

Springs: A tapered wire progressive rate spring was developed to fulfill a supple and comfortable ride when the vehicle is empty but also have the ability to carry loads. This progressive rate spring will cater to vehicles that require optimized ride quality but also occasionally carries load.

Shock Absorbers: A longer travel shock was tuned to match the rear coil to provide comfort, control and increased travel.
