Öhlins offers shafts in several lengths per diameter because the stroke differs by model. The damper shaft carries the piston and passes through the seal head, so its surface finish decides how long the seals last. Its polished section runs directly in the seal, so any mark there ends the seal's life quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOriginal Öhlins Part\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA damper that can be rebuilt is a damper that stays on the bike; that is the whole argument for original service parts. Parts remain available years after a unit leaves the current price list, which is unusual in this trade. Öhlins parts are unit-specific: a close dimension is not a substitute. Send us the model and serial number of your unit and we will confirm the position before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdentifying the Right Part\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e05508-05 is the Öhlins number for this position — the same one printed in the service documentation. Öhlins states diameter 16 mm, length 203 mm for this number, and those figures are the deciding ones. The shaft is threaded at both ends: piston at one, mounting at the other. Shaft diameter sets the displaced volume, which is why it is part of the damper's specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins recommends that its units are serviced by an authorised centre. We are one: rebuild, revalve and setup all happen in our own workshop.\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 05508-05\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":53649217323274,"sku":"05508-05","price":167.61,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/05508-05_0ea214a5-25d9-41c1-8341-33f5b08969e0.png?v=1788874286","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-ht\/products\/ohlins-shaft-16-203-05508-05","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
