Shims are reused only if they are undamaged and flat; a coned shim is finished. Two shims of the same thickness but different diameter give completely different curves. A shim is a thin, ground steel washer, and the stack of them is what generates damping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Original\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eParts remain available years after a unit leaves the current price list, which is unusual in this trade. Öhlins supports units that are decades old, which is why the spare parts list runs to thousands of numbers. Send us the model and serial number of your unit and we will confirm the position before you order. Service parts are supplied per piece unless the description says otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdentifying the Right Part\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart number 00185-18 is unambiguous; the description alone is not, because Öhlins uses similar wording across sizes. Check inner diameter 8 mm, outer diameter 18 mm, thickness 0.15 mm against what you have removed; a close size is not the same part. A coned or marked shim is finished — it no longer seals against its neighbour. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAsk us about a full service: as an authorised Öhlins centre we strip, inspect, replace what is worn and set the unit back to its specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBrand:\u003c\/em\u003e Öhlins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/em\u003e 00185-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCategory:\u003c\/em\u003e Shims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eInner Diameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eOuter Diameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 18 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThickness:\u003c\/em\u003e 0.15 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/em\u003e Sweden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Öhlins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53646858846474,"sku":"00185-18","price":5.0,"currency_code":"BBD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/00185-18_279fe1c5-c004-4840-b797-8571376ed222.png?v=1788868794","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-bb\/products\/ohlins-shims-8-18-0-15-00185-18","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
