The Old Man Emu is a well-established vehicle suspension company in Australia that offers fully integrated suspension systems. The company's unique name was inspired by the Emu, a large flightless bird that lives in Australia. Drawing from the Emu's ability to run at high speeds over off-road terrain while maintaining its stability and balance. Qualities that became the calling card of Old Man Emu suspensions. Since being launched in 1976, Old Man Emu has been designing aftermarket 4 x 4 suspensions using an in-depth testing program. Old Man Emu engineers study each target vehicle and make a series of tests on the original suspension system to analyze ride handling, load capacity, roll stability, noise, and vibration. Using the data gathered, Old Man Emu then focus on how they can improve upon the stock suspensions. The suspension components are then designed and go through a stringent analytical process to ensure the components work together and can exceed the capacity and performance of their stock counterparts

Development - To ensure we meet your expectations, ARB invests heavily in research and development. Our design and engineering team utilizes the latest CAD, CAM parametric modeling systems and finite element analysis packages, and is supported by subcontract companies and universities for special projects like vibration, strength and crash testing. With an air bag equipped vehicle for example, it is essential that the vehicle?s crush rate and air bag triggering is not altered when a bull bar is installed. Our exhaustive testing programs ensure ARB bull bars meet these requirements. We also devote considerable time and resources toward to sourcing new products from around the world. IPF lights from Japan, Warn winches from the US? we scan the globe in search of equipment that meets both the demands of our customers and our own stringent quality requirements. What?s more, we?re also constantly on the lookout for new ways to improve our business practices, from distribution to customer service. ARB is a Quality Endorsed Company, and wherever we can, we endeavor to ?raise the bar?.
