Spacer, ball joint 12x46 al, Öhlins part number 01218-06. Öhlins specifies thread-locking compound by position; not every fastener wants it.

Key Features

  • Öhlins part number 01218-06
  • Original Öhlins service part

What It Is

There is no measurement to check here — the number and the exploded view identify it. Retaining rings come in a groove-specific thickness — the next size does not hold. A plug that seals a gas port is a pressure part despite its size. These spacers position the spherical bearing in the eye and set its width to the chassis mount.

Why the Original

Suspension is one of the few areas where the original part is genuinely the cheaper decision. An original part keeps the unit within its published specification; a near-equivalent quietly moves it. Tell us the damper's model designation and year and we will match the number for you. Order by part number. The dimensions below are the ones Öhlins publishes for it.

Getting the Number Right

The reliable route is the exploded drawing: find the position, read the number, order it — 01218-06 in this case. Where no measurement is given, the drawing position is what identifies the part. Öhlins publishes them in the exploded view so a workshop can order the whole position at once. Circlips are single-use in practice: once sprung, they no longer hold their groove reliably.

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.
