ARB MT64 Heavy rear shock absorber

A touring vehicle gains weight every season: a bar, a winch, drawers, a tank, a roof load. Usually that means replacing the suspension along the way. The MT64 handles it differently – the spring seat moves through six positions at 5 mm intervals, so preload and ride height are adjusted without changing the shock. Add a 64 mm bore and an aluminium body that sheds heat far faster than steel.

Key features

• Designed and manufactured by ARB
• A monotube design with a 64 mm bore – more oil and larger shim stacks
• An adjustable spring seat: six positions at 5 mm intervals
• One spring covers a range of loads – as the vehicle gains weight the shock is adjusted rather than replaced
• An aerospace aluminium body, as in the BP-51 – it sheds heat fifteen times faster than steel
• A 22.5 mm shaft of the kind used in racing dampers
• A circlip supplied with the shock

Fitment

The shock is intended for the rear axle of the Toyota LandCruiser 150.

Setting the circlip and spring seat higher gives more spring preload and more height – for accessories or other added load. Setting it lower prepares the strut for a lighter vehicle, for example one without a steel bar and winch.

Frequently asked questions

What does the name MT64 mean?

A monotube design with a 64 mm internal bore.

Is the shock sold in pairs?

This catalogue item is a single shock. Suspension work is normally done on both sides of an axle – get in touch and we will make up the set.

Why an adjustable spring seat?

It lets one spring cover a range of loads. As the vehicle gains weight over time the shock is adjusted rather than replaced.
