2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma MT64 Strut Front

MT64 is specifically designed to cater to the needs of overland and heavy vehicles with extreme added weight, offering unparalleled load handling capabilities and vehicle-specific damping, tuned for different loads and vehicle setups.

Multiple snap-ring grooves in the body allow for different spring seat positions, providing 0-3 inches of lift when paired with coil springs (application specific). These cutting-edge shocks are built to handle the unique challenges faced by vehicles equipped with campers, toppers, tents, and rack systems. These additions create a dynamic shifting load, both in terms of front-to-back and side-to-side movements.

MT64 is the ultimate overlanding authority, designed for the traveler who wants a smooth ride and comfort both on and off-road. Overlanding demands shocks that can handle all conditions, day after day, and that is what MT64 is designed to do.

As more vehicle manufacturers have moved to an independent coil over strut front suspension set up, demand has increased for aftermarket replacement bushes and components. Old Man Emu have now developed a range of complete Top Hat kits (strut bearing plates, bushes and washers) for the most popular fitments to accommodate the demand. Old Man Emu engineers have developed a complete replacement Top Hat solution which incorporates all required components to fully replace the original Strut Top hat. This includes a new bearing plate, high duro rubber isolator, rubber bushes, washers, crush tube (if applicable) and mounting nuts. All components are to the original equipment specifications and are a straight forward bolt in solution.

Traditionally Old Man Emu has recommended re-using the Original Equipment (OE) bushes, washers and crush tube when upgrading suspension with Old Man Emu struts and coils. Provided the original bushes are in good condition this is fine. However feedback from the market has been there is a need for replacement bushes due to either age of the vehicle or wear and tear of the original bushes and washers.  The replacement bush kit uses the latest polyurethane technologies delivering outstanding abrasion resistance, flexibility & resistance to oil, grease and weathering. Replacement heavy duty washers and crush tubes (where applicable) are also included in these kits along with detailed fitting instructions to ensure correct placement of all components when fitting the strut assembly. The Application guide has now been updated to recommend the fitment of the new bush kit part number but also notes if the OE bushes may be re-used if in good condition.
