DescriptionThe whole story▼
Strut casing tubeTPX44 L 263, Öhlins part number 06798-56. Corrosion inside a tube is terminal: it cannot be honed out without changing the clearance.
Key Features
- Öhlins part number 06798-56
- Original Öhlins service part
Where It Sits
There is no measurement to check here — the number and the exploded view identify it. A scored bore means lost damping, because the oil bypasses the piston rather than being forced through the shims. Tubes are replaced when the bore is marked; polishing them out changes the clearance and makes it worse. Öhlins turns and hones each tube to a defined roundness, because an out-of-round bore leaks past the piston.
Original Öhlins Part
Suspension is one of the few areas where the original part is genuinely the cheaper decision. Öhlins supports units that are decades old, which is why the spare parts list runs to thousands of numbers. Service parts are supplied per piece unless the description says otherwise. Service parts are ordered per piece unless stated otherwise.
Getting the Number Right
06798-56 is the Öhlins number for this position — the same one printed in the service documentation. Öhlins does not publish a dimension here — go by the number and the exploded view. The tube carries the end cap threads, so damaged threads mean a new tube rather than a repair. Öhlins hones its tubes to a defined surface finish rather than simply to a diameter.
Fitting and Setup Service
Fitting 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.
