A worn or bent shim shows up as damping that has quietly drifted from the setting sheet. Face flatness matters as much as thickness — a shim that does not seal against its neighbour leaks damping. Revalving means changing the stack, not the piston — that is why shims are sold singly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Original\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. Öhlins numbers every position so a workshop can order precisely what it needs, not a whole assembly. Öhlins numbers do not follow a logic you can guess — always read them from the documentation. Service parts are supplied per piece unless the description says otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdentifying the Right Part\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reliable route is the exploded drawing: find the position, read the number, order it — 00538-22 in this case. inner diameter 12 mm, outer diameter 22 mm, thickness 0.38 mm is what distinguishes this number from its neighbours in the range. A shim is a thin, ground steel washer, and the stack of them is what generates damping. Changing one shim in a stack alters the damping curve measurably; that is why Öhlins sells them individually rather than only as sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\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 00538-22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCategory:\u003c\/em\u003e Shims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eInner Diameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 12 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eOuter Diameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 22 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThickness:\u003c\/em\u003e 0.38 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":53647040413962,"sku":"00538-22","price":1.76,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/00538-22_0dd35680-fa65-402b-b9ae-081a11115dc4.png?v=1788869615","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-jo\/products\/ohlins-shims-12-22-0-38-00538-22","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
