DescriptionThe whole story▼

Shaft 14/277, Öhlins part number 05608-05. Öhlins hardens and surface-treats its shafts because a scratch on the running surface takes the seal with it.

  • Original Öhlins service part

Function

At 14 mm, 277 mm it fits one position only; the next size up carries a different number. Chrome or nitride treatment is what lets the shaft run in a seal for thousands of kilometres. Shaft straightness matters: a bent shaft drags in the seal head and destroys the seal within hours. Shafts are not shortened or extended; the length is the specification.

Genuine Service Part

Buying the individual part rather than a complete assembly is what makes servicing an Öhlins unit worthwhile. Öhlins supports its suspension with individual service parts, which is why a fifteen-year-old damper can still be rebuilt to specification. Send us the model and serial number of your unit and we will confirm the position before you order. Where a number has been superseded, Öhlins states the replacement — we pass that on.

How to Be Sure It Fits

Order under 05608-05. Where several sizes share a description, only the number separates them. Check diameter 14 mm, length 277 mm against what you have removed; a close size is not the same part. The damper shaft carries the piston and passes through the seal head, so its surface finish decides how long the seals last. This is a part that is replaced rather than repaired.

Fitting and Setup Service

If you would rather not open the damper yourself, we can do it — we are an authorised Öhlins service centre and rebuild these units as a matter of routine.
