Why change your Nissan Pathfinder R51 suspension kit?

The 4x4 suspension kits often offer a suspension upgrade and reinforcement, a strength compared to the original. It's essential to change your suspension, because often the original one isn't suitable for travel or raids. Raising your suspension makes it easier to tackle cross-country terrain, and makes your 4x4 more skilful. Reinforcing your suspension means you can withstand, without risk of breakage, the overload caused by your on-board equipment or Canopy Hardtoproof tent, etc.

What is the purpose of a suspension damper?

A shock absorber on a car is an essential suspension component that absorbs shocks and vibrations caused by road irregularities. It helps keep the wheels in constant contact with the ground, improving handling, stability and driving comfort. Shock absorbers also reduce excessive spring rebound, enabling more precise vehicle control and shorter braking distances. Old Man Emu shock absorbers are renowned for their quality and exceptional off-road performance. Their robust, durable design makes them suitable for the toughest conditions.
