"Poly" bushings and shock absorbers

Factory Series Land Rover leaf springs can be enhanced with Old Man EMU shock absorbers and urethane "poly" bushings. Old Man EMU's are the best you can buy and are widely used.

These tough urethane spring bushing kits are designed to replace the stock rubber spring and frame bushings on your Series Land Rover. Once installed they are much easier to replace than the factory spring bushings.  We strongly recommend replacing worn frame bushings with urethane (it's a nasty job and you only want to do it once!). One kit required per leaf spring, and does both the spring and the frame bushing.

Factory replacement shock absorbers work fine in many cases.  But if you travel in places where you work your Series Land Rover's suspension hard, you should consider upgrading your Series Land Rover's suspension by switching from standard to Old Man EMU heavy duty oil shock absorbers.

Nitrogen gas shock absorbers don't loose their dampening with heat caused by rapid oscillations (that could be off road, but some LA freeways are worse!), and the very stout construction hold up great off road. We've been told they ride better than stock shocks, but that's subjective!

They are designed for your Series Land Rover (other brands, like Bilstein or Rancho are not specifically valved for Land Rover, they just fit), and in our opinion there is no better shock available. They have a 2 year replacement warranty, regardless of mileage or use (rock damage notwithstanding, of course!) Note: you need 1 bushing kit to mount 4 shocks (shocks do not come with bushings). The bushings are urethane.
