Öhlins offers several lengths per diameter because stroke differs by model. The shaft is threaded at both ends: piston at one, mounting at the other. Any mark on the polished section is a reason to replace rather than to reassemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Original\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins lists this part under its own number in the service catalogue so a workshop can order exactly what it needs. A damper that can be rebuilt is a damper that stays on the bike; that is the whole argument for original service parts. We can supply the whole position from the drawing rather than the single piece if that is easier. If the unit is already apart, compare the published dimensions with the part in your hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Be Sure It Fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reliable route is the exploded drawing: find the position, read the number, order it — 05500-11 in this case. The published dimensions are diameter 16 mm, length 203 mm — measure the old part against them if you are unsure. Surface hardness is what lets the shaft survive thousands of cycles through a seal. Adjuster shafts run inside the main shaft on units with a rod-through adjuster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitting 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBrand:\u003c\/em\u003e Öhlins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/em\u003e 05500-11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCategory:\u003c\/em\u003e Damper Shafts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 16 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eLength:\u003c\/em\u003e 203 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/em\u003e Sweden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Öhlins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53649894113546,"sku":"05500-11","price":75.28,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/05500-11_cc3039e0-3ca3-49ed-8b8e-ef32e48f6563.png?v=1788876738","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-ht\/products\/ohlins-shaft-16-203-05500-11","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
