What It Is

Öhlins publishes 16 mm, 143 mm for 05500-05 — the dimensions are the identity of the part. Shaft straightness matters: a bent shaft drags in the seal head and destroys the seal within hours. Any mark on the polished section is a reason to replace rather than to reassemble. A shaft is threaded at both ends: one for the piston, one for the mounting.

Original Öhlins Part

The part is identical to what Öhlins fits in production — same supplier, same specification. This is an original Öhlins part, not an aftermarket equivalent — the tolerances are the ones the unit was assembled to. If you are unsure which number your unit takes, send us the model and serial number of the damper and we will look it up. For a full rebuild, the seal kit plus the wear parts is usually the sensible order.

How to Be Sure It Fits

Öhlins identifies this position by the number 05500-05 in the exploded view for the unit it belongs to. Check diameter 16 mm, length 143 mm against what you have removed; a close size is not the same part. Surface hardness is what lets the shaft survive thousands of cycles through a seal. The damper shaft carries the piston and passes through the seal head, so its surface finish decides how long the seals last.
