Cylinder tube TTX46 178, Öhlins part number 15083-08. Wall thickness and bore finish are what let a cylinder hold pressure without deforming under load.

Key Features

  • Original Öhlins service part
  • Öhlins part number 15083-08

Where It Sits

This position is identified by its number rather than by a dimension. Wall thickness and bore finish are what let a cylinder hold pressure without deforming under load. The cylinder tube is the working bore of the damper: the piston runs in it, and its finish decides how well the piston rings seal. Aluminium tubes are hard-anodised in the bore so the piston band has a hard surface to run against.

Why the Original

The alternative to a service part is usually a new damper, which is why this catalogue exists. The tolerances here are the ones the unit was assembled to, not a pattern equivalent's interpretation of them. Where a number has been superseded, Öhlins states the replacement — we pass that on. For a full rebuild, the seal kit plus the wear parts is usually the sensible order.

Identifying the Right Part

Öhlins identifies this position by the number 15083-08 in the exploded view for the unit it belongs to. This position has no published dimension, so the part number is the only reliable identifier. The tube also carries the end cap threads, so thread damage means a new tube. Corrosion inside a tube is terminal: it cannot be honed out without changing the clearance.

Fitting and Setup Service
