Development and Manufacturing All BP-51 shock absorbers are manufactured in-house by ARB. In order to achieve this, significant investment has been made in state of the art machining and hard anodising equipment, allowing ARB total control over the manufacturing process to ensure the highest possible quality.
BP-51 shock absorber bodies are manufactured using aircraft grade (6061 T6) anodised aluminium to dissipate heat more efficiently than steel or alloy steel and provide superior corrosion resistance.
Extensive lab, real world and destructive testing has been undertaken during the development process to ensure that reliability, longevity and performance all meet ARB’s impeccable standards.
Bypass Technology In addition to the velocity sensitive damping used in most shock absorbers (where the faster the piston moves, the higher the level of damping is generated), BP-51 shock absorbers also generate damping dependent on the position of the piston within the shock absorber’s body via their bypass design.
Typical shock absorbers are only able to provide damping based on fluid transfer through the piston. BP-51’s unique bypass design offers the best of both worlds, allowing the high performance oil to pass directly through the piston while also being channelled around this assembly via the bypass passages.
The result is a shock absorber which can adapt to any terrain, providing increased ride control at the upper and lower travel limits.

With greater levels of damping generated at each end of the stroke, the piston slows as it approaches full compression and extension, preventing harsh topping out and allowing larger bumps and corrugations to be absorbed more easily. Sahara 4x4
This results in an ability for the shock absorber to provide the best of both worlds, with a comfortable and compliant ride during normal driving and a more controlled ride over challenging terrain.
