Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Plus 60155 shock absorber – rear, Suzuki Jimny from 2018, 1.5 petrol

A factory shock is matched to the vehicle that left the showroom: no steel bar, no winch, no drawers and no forty kilos of gear on the roof. After the first trip the damping no longer keeps up – the vehicle floats over corrugations and leans in corners.

Nitrocharger Plus is Old Man Emu's twin-tube design, where the outer tube shields the internals from rocks and branches. Valving is matched to a specific spring from the OME range – which is why one vehicle has several shock options rather than one universal part.

Key features

• Twin-tube construction with an impact-resistant outer tube – the internals are protected from debris off-road.
• Six-disc valving matched to ride and handling characteristics.
• Induction-hardened, chromed shaft designed for 4x4 duty.
• Triple-lip sealing – it effectively removes contamination damage, the most common cause of a leak.
• Large low-friction bronze bush and a Teflon-impregnated slipper ring – even damping and longer life.
• Quality polyurethane bushes.
• Free-flow design with a nitrogen charge – a wider working temperature range and steadier oil flow on a long corrugated descent.

Fitment

Suzuki Jimny from 2018 with the 1.5 L four-cylinder petrol engine. The manufacturer quotes an estimated suspension lift of 40 mm.

The shock covers three vehicle load cases: without a steel bar, with a steel bar, and with a steel bar plus winch. Tell us what is fitted and we will match the spring to complete the set.

OME shocks are matched to the spring and to the vehicle's real mass. If you are building the suspension from scratch or adding gear, get in touch – we will match the whole set rather than a single part.

Frequently asked questions

Is the price for one shock or a set?

The price is for one unit. An axle needs two, a vehicle four – ask us and we will put the set together.

Will shocks alone lift the vehicle?

No. Height comes from the spring or leaf pack; the shock is matched to it. Quoted lift figures refer to a complete suspension kit, not to the shock on its own.

Do both sides have to be replaced together?

On one axle, yes. Shocks wear at a similar rate, and a damping difference between left and right spoils the handling.

How do I know which version to choose?

It comes down to the vehicle's real mass: steel bar, winch, drawers, rack, tray load. Tell us what you have and what you plan to fit, and we will match the kit rather than guess.

Why buy it

• Damping matched to a loaded vehicle rather than a showroom one.
• Fitment confirmed in the OME suspension selection catalogue, not just from a name.
• We can match the whole set: shocks, springs and the rest of the suspension.

We fit and set up suspension in our own workshop, including the alignment afterwards. Send us the vehicle model and the list of accessories.
