After four years of development, ARB, the Australian world leader in 4x4 accessories, introduced the new and revolutionary BP-51 shock absorber concept at Automechanika 2014. With the Old Man Emu BP-51 (ByPass with 51mm bore), ARB brings racing technology to everyone's off-roader, whether on or off the road.
Only the highest quality materials are used in this "state of the art" shock absorber. For example, all housing parts are made of tough, hard-anodized 6061 T6 aerospace aluminum. And the technical equipment is also a listing of everything you would want in a shock absorber. This is where all the experience Old Man Emu has gained over the last three decades in shock absorber development is evident.

For initial installation, the vehicle-specific installation kit is required.

The facts in the overview:

• Bypass technology integrated into the housing
  
• Vehicle-specific tuning and recordings
  
• 10-stage and independent adjustment of rebound and compression damping when installed
  
• Separate high-pressure compensating reservoir with separating piston
  
• Housing parts for the purpose of excellent heat dissipation made of 6061 T6 aerospace aluminum
  
• Adjustable spring plate for "coil over" design
  
• 19mm hard chrome plated piston road with replaceable stone guard
  
• High temperature resistant Teflon steel flex line to the expansion tank
  
• "Uniball" bearings on suspension struts
