1. 제품 오버view
The ARB Old Man Emu (OME) coil springs are engineered to provide enhanced handling and control for your vehicle. While they typically offer a 1/2 to 3-inch suspension lift, their primary design focus is on optimizing vehicle performance and stability, especially when carrying additional loads. The resulting lift height is a beneficial outcome of this design philosophy, ensuring a safe, controlled, and comfortable ride. OME coils are an ideal solution for vehicles frequently subjected to extra weight, such as during off-road adventures or towing. For a fully integrated suspension system, these springs can be paired with a corresponding set of Old Man Emu shock absorbers, specifically designed to complement your vehicle's requirements.

2. 주요 특징
- Enhanced Vehicle Control: Specifically designed to improve overall vehicle handling and stability.
- Load Carrying Capability: Optimized to manage additional weight, making them suitable for heavy loads and off-road use.
- Variable Lift Height: Generally provides a 1/2 to 3-inch suspension lift, depending on the specific vehicle model and application.
- Integrated System Compatibility: Engineered to work seamlessly with Old Man Emu shock absorbers for a complete suspension upgrade.
- 내구성 있는 구조: Manufactured from high-quality materials for long-lasting performance and reliability.
3. 설치 가이드
Installation of suspension components requires specialized tools and knowledge. It is highly recommended that you consult your vehicle's specific shop manual for detailed instructions and safety procedures. If you lack the necessary experience or equipment, please seek assistance from a qualified mechanic to ensure proper and safe installation.
General Installation Steps (Consult Vehicle Specific Manual for Details):
- 준비: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and block the wheels. Lift the vehicle using a suitable jack and support it securely with jack stands.
- 휠 제거: Remove the wheels from the axle where the coil springs are to be replaced.
- 구성 요소 분해: Carefully disconnect any components that may interfere with spring removal, such as shock absorbers, sway bar links, or brake lines, ensuring not to over-extend them.
- Spring Removal: Using a spring compressor (if required and safe for your vehicle type) or by carefully lowering the axle, remove the old coil springs. Exercise extreme caution as springs are under significant compression.
- New Spring Installation: Install the new ARB Old Man Emu coil springs, ensuring they are correctly seated in their upper and lower mounts.
- 재조립: Reconnect all previously disconnected components. Ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque settings.
- 최종 점검: Lower the vehicle, remove jack stands, and re-torque wheel nuts. Perform a thorough inspection of all installed components and check for proper clearance and alignment.
- 조정: After installation, it is crucial to have a professional wheel alignment performed to ensure correct steering and tire wear.

4. 운영 지침
Once installed, your ARB Old Man Emu coil springs will alter your vehicle's suspension characteristics. Expect improved handling, especially under load, and potentially a higher ride height. It is important to familiarize yourself with these changes. Drive cautiously after installation to adapt to the new feel of your vehicle. Avoid sudden maneuvers until you are comfortable with the modified suspension response. Always adhere to safe driving practices and be aware of your vehicle's new capabilities and limitations, particularly when off-roading or towing.
5. 유지관리
ARB Old Man Emu coil springs are designed for durability and require minimal maintenance. However, regular inspections are recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety:
- 시각적 검사: Periodically inspect the springs for any signs of damage, corrosion, cracks, or deformation.
- 장착 지점: Check all mounting hardware for tightness and ensure there is no excessive wear or play in the bushings.
- 청소: Keep the springs free from excessive dirt, mud, and corrosive materials. A simple rinse with water is usually sufficient.
- 전문가 확인: During routine vehicle servicing, have a qualified mechanic inspect your suspension components, including the coil springs, for any issues.
6. 문제 해결
If you experience any issues with your ARB Old Man Emu coil springs, consider the following:
- 이상한 소음 (덜컹거리는 소리/삐걱거리는 소리): Check all installation points for proper torque. Ensure no components are rubbing or loose. Lubricate bushings if necessary.
- 차고 높이 불균형: Verify that the correct springs were installed for your vehicle and application. Ensure springs are seated correctly. This could also indicate an issue with other suspension components.
- Harsh Ride: While OME springs are designed for improved control, an overly harsh ride might indicate incorrect spring selection for your vehicle's load or an issue with shock absorbers. Ensure tire pressures are correct.
- 부적절한 처리: Re-check alignment. Ensure all suspension components are in good working order and properly installed.
For persistent issues, it is best to consult a professional mechanic or contact ARB customer support.
