DescriptionThe whole story▼

Valve housing, Öhlins part number 15838-01. A worn piston band lets oil past the outside of the piston, which shows up as damping that has gone soft.

Key Features

  • Öhlins part number 15838-01
  • Original Öhlins service part

What It Is

Öhlins publishes no separate dimension for this position, so the part number carries the identity. Twin-tube pistons have separate paths for compression and rebound, which is the whole point of the design. Öhlins machines its pistons rather than sintering them, which is why the port edges stay sharp. Jets meter fixed bleed flow and are sized in tenths of a millimetre.

Why the Original

Every part in this catalogue is one Öhlins fits itself during assembly and service. Öhlins publishes dimensions for its service parts so a workshop can verify before it fits. If you are between two sizes, send us the measurement and we will check it against the catalogue. Ask us before ordering if you are unsure: a wrong part in a pressurised unit is an expensive lesson.

Getting the Number Right

If the unit is already open, compare the dimensions below with the part in your hand before ordering 15838-01. Where no measurement is given, the drawing position is what identifies the part. A worn valve bleeds damping away without any visible symptom. Öhlins builds the seat into the housing so the sealing face is machined, not pressed.

Fitting and Setup Service

A damper rebuild is workshop work: it needs the unit dismantled, the shim stack rebuilt in the correct order and the gas charge reset. We are an authorised Öhlins service centre and do exactly that in house — send us the unit or ask us to fit the part with your order.
