Function

At 8 mm, 18 mm, 0.30 mm it fits one position only; the next size up carries a different number. Shims are reused only if they are undamaged and flat; a coned shim is finished. Öhlins holds thickness to hundredths of a millimetre because that is the resolution damping changes at. A stack combines several diameters so the curve changes progressively rather than in steps.

Why the Original

Öhlins publishes dimensions for its service parts so a workshop can verify before it fits. Every part in this catalogue is one Öhlins fits itself during assembly and service. The exploded drawing for your unit names the number; if you do not have it, we do. If you are between two sizes, send us the measurement and we will check it against the catalogue.

Identifying the Right Part

Order under 00188-18. Where several sizes share a description, only the number separates them. Check inner diameter 8 mm, outer diameter 18 mm, thickness 0.30 mm against what you have removed; a close size is not the same part. Changing one shim in a stack alters the damping curve measurably; that is why Öhlins sells them individually rather than only as sets. Revalving means changing the stack, which is why Öhlins sells shims individually.

Fitting and Setup Service

Öhlins recommends that its units are serviced by an authorised centre. We are one: rebuild, revalve and setup all happen in our own workshop.
