Function

Öhlins gives it as 12 mm, 38 mm, 0.30 mm; nothing about that is approximate. Changing one shim in a stack alters the damping curve measurably; that is why Öhlins sells them individually rather than only as sets. Öhlins holds thickness to hundredths of a millimetre because that is the resolution damping changes at. Suspension technicians keep these in stock by size because a revalve means changing several at once.

Why the Original

Öhlins lists this part under its own number in the service catalogue so a workshop can order exactly what it needs. Öhlins keeps service parts available for units long after they leave the current price list. We can supply the whole position from the drawing rather than the single piece if that is easier. If you are between two sizes, send us the measurement and we will check it against the catalogue.

How to Be Sure It Fits

The reliable route is the exploded drawing: find the position, read the number, order it — 00530-38 in this case. Check inner diameter 12 mm, outer diameter 38 mm, thickness 0.30 mm against what you have removed; a close size is not the same part. A stack combines several diameters so the curve changes progressively rather than in steps. A shim is a thin steel washer, and a stack of them is what actually generates damping in an Öhlins unit — the oil has to bend them out of the way to pass.

Fitting and Setup Service

Fitting service parts means opening a pressurised unit. As an authorised Öhlins service centre we do that here, with the right tools and a dyno check afterwards — just ask.
