What It Is

12 mm, 29 mm, 0.38 mm: that is the whole specification, and it has to match what came out. A shim is a thin, ground steel washer, and the stack of them is what generates damping. Shims are reused only if they are undamaged and flat; a coned shim is finished. A worn or bent shim shows up as damping that has quietly drifted from the setting sheet.

Genuine Service Part

Öhlins supports its suspension with individual service parts, which is why a fifteen-year-old damper can still be rebuilt to specification. Parts remain available years after a unit leaves the current price list, which is unusual in this trade. Order by part number. The dimensions below are the ones Öhlins publishes for it. If you are between two sizes, send us the measurement and we will check it against the catalogue.

Getting the Number Right

Öhlins identifies this position by the number 00538-29 in the exploded view for the unit it belongs to. The published dimensions are inner diameter 12 mm, outer diameter 29 mm, thickness 0.38 mm — measure the old part against them if you are unsure. A stack combines several diameters so the curve changes progressively rather than in steps. Shim thickness is measured in hundredths of a millimetre because that is the resolution at which damping force changes.

Fitting and Setup Service

Öhlins recommends that its units are serviced by an authorised centre. We are one: rebuild, revalve and setup all happen in our own workshop.
