Old Man Emu on a HJ45?

[Jespervangfalkenberg]

Hallo everyone!

I have tried to install a OME suspension on my HJ45 and all I have experienced so far is troubles!!!

First the dealership here in Denmark have ordered all the bushings totally wrong - which gives me a terrible headache

They could not tell me how to install them - I dont have the old ones anymore. What I asked them was which way the leaf springs should sit/turn. They could not give me a straigt answer and I therefore installed them with the yellow painted arrow pointing to the fronted of the car. And guess what in the front they sit wrong! I have to take it apart again

I have searced and found nothing about this. I know about the - and + on the springs, but thats it...

Also the bushings seems to be to narrow or too wide! I really dont get it. should they not sit tight and without any slag?

plz see the pictures

Here is a few photos of OME suspension on my 1980 HJ45. First group of photos are front.

This is the rear. Give Kurt and Cruiser Outfitters a call. They are in the vendors section.

thank you very much! It look much better than mine! Is that extended shackles in the front or normal OME? They seem longer than the genuine shackles!

Much better fitment in the back...

I turn mine 180 degrees today and the shocks fit now.

Man that sucks, hope you get it sorted, I would have thought the arrow would go to the front, very strange.
