Why Buy A Set Of Four Shock Absorbers? It's a simple fact of life that shock absorbers do wear out and should be replaced. It's also fact that a vehicle may be equipped with shock absorbers that were not designed to meet your requirements. Old Man Emu shock absorbers last much longer than original equipment units. They also reduce pitch and body-roll. OME shock absorbers will make your vehicle track and handle better. It will, therefore, be a safer vehicle and the ride will be more comfortable, regardless of whether your vehicle is brand new or a little older. But, for the best results, it's strongly recommended that all four shock absorbers be replaced at the same time. Fifteen years experience in 4WD suspension, a strict policy of thorough development before introducing any new product and an extremely successful long-term involvement in off-road racing led to the production of this, Australia's' best shock absorber. Nitrochargers unique glacier bush, its Teflon-impregnated piston-rod guide and Teflon-banded piston eliminate metal to metal contact within the piston tube itself, thus reducing bore wear, friction and heat. New design multi-stage valves, including a seven-stage coil sprung compression valve and a four-stage coil sprung rebound valve, improve the Nitrochargers consistent performance characteristics, enhance its fine tuning capabilities and increase overall durability. The Benefits Of Gas Pressurization As the piston travels in a non-pressurized hydraulic twin tube shock absorber, oil passes through the base or compression valve to and from the outer tube, which serves as a reservoir. Part of the reservoir must be filled with compressed air to compensate for movement of the piston rod and its displacement of the shock oil as the rod enters (compresses) into the shock. This internal shock air can mix with the oil in the shocks reservoir, and actually foams with the oil under operation, drastically reducing the effectiveness of the shock absorbers damping valving and causes fading to occur. The OME Nitrocharger replaces the air in the shock reservoir of common low performance shocks with pressurized Nitrogen gas. A major component of the air we breathe, Nitrogen is a pure, inert gas, without the corrosive and unstable properties of Oxygen and Water Vapor which are also found in air. Use of pure Nitrogen gas in the pressurized OME Shock helps provide more consistent damping and prevents deterioration of the shocks damping oil and internal working components. Low Pressure Versus High Pressure Essentially, there are two basic varieties of gas shocks in common usage today: one is the low pressure twin-tube shock absorber, while the other is the high pressure De Carbon Principle mono-tube. High gas pressures are the norm in racing car shocks for high speed applications and short suspension on smooth roads. But the Australian on-road and off-road environments embody markedly different needs and, in the OME experience, there are two problems with high pressure shock absorbers. Under low pressure, the broader range of bottom end softness is able to be easily fine tuned. Such is not the case with the high-pressure approach, as the system is inherently stiffer, regardless of the setting. The degree of bottom-end softness dictates the level of comfort experienced while driving at low speed. Consequently, the low pressure system is more comfortable and more desirable. The other problem is that the internal gas cylinder of the De Carbon principle mono-tube design has a shaft length shorter than the Old Man Emu twin-tube design. If an OME unit and a mono unit of the same compressed length are fully extended, the OME unit will extend further. On 4x4 vehicles, therefore. the OME unit will allow the axle to drop down further and gain traction, dependent upon suspension design. The walking effect of your 4x4 may be limited by the shorter traveling mono-tube, but not by the Old Man Emu Nitrocharger.
