Traditionally Old Man Emu has recommended re-using the Original Equipment (OE) bushes, washers and crush tube when upgrading suspension with Old Man Emu struts and coils. Provided the original bushes are in good condition this is fine. However feedback from the market has been there is a need for replacement bushes due to either age of the vehicle or wear and tear of the original bushes and washers. Old Man Emu engineers are pleased to have developed a range of replacement Upper strut bushes, washers and crush tubes (where applicable) for a range of the most popular strut fitments. The replacement bush kit uses the latest polyurethane technologies delivering outstanding abrasion resistance, flexibility & resistance to oil, grease and weathering. Replacement heavy duty washers and crush tubes (where applicable) are also included in these kits along with detailed fitting instructions to ensure correct placement of all components when fitting the strut assembly. The Application guide has now been updated to recommend the fitment of the new bush kit part number but also notes if the OE bushes may be re-used if in good condition.
