ARB SMP459 Old Man Emu LTR Remote Canister Shock Absorber Rebuild Service Kit

The ARB SMP459 is an Old Man Emu (OME) LTR Remote Canister Shock Absorber Rebuild Service Kit, designed to restore and extend the service life of OME LTR (Long Travel Remote canister) shock absorbers. LTR shocks are nitrogen-charged, remote canister units built for demanding 4WD and off-road use, and this rebuild kit provides the internal components needed to return them to factory performance.

Key Features:

• Genuine ARB / Old Man Emu replacement service parts engineered to OEM specifications
• Designed specifically for OME LTR remote canister shock absorbers
• Restores damping performance and extends shock absorber service life
• Compatible with ARB's extensive network of authorized OME dealers for professional installation
• Part of ARB's commitment to rebuildable, field-serviceable suspension components

Old Man Emu LTR shock absorbers are nitrogen-pressurized units featuring a remote canister design. Regular maintenance — including inspection of polyurethane boots, bushings, and nitrogen gas pressure — is essential to maximize performance and longevity. The SMP459 rebuild service kit supports this maintenance by supplying the internal wear components required for a proper overhaul.

Maintenance Notes:

• Nitrogen is the only recommended gas for LTR shock absorbers — do not substitute with air
• Gas pressure should be checked every 20,000 km (approximately 12,500 miles) as part of routine maintenance
• Gassing of the LTR shock absorber must be performed before fitment to the vehicle
• If shocks are already installed, ensure the suspension is at full extension before gassing
• Inspect the shock body and remote canister for mud and debris buildup; clean as necessary
• Verify polyurethane boots, locating washers, and mounting nuts are secure and undamaged

The ARB SMP459 is an OEM-quality solution for maintaining the performance of Old Man Emu LTR suspension systems — keeping your 4WD ready for the trail without the expense of full shock replacement.
