Shims 12/44/0.20, Öhlins part number 00520-44. The stack is the tuning: outer diameter sets where the shim bends, thickness sets how hard it resists.

Function

00520-44 is the 12 mm, 44 mm, 0.20 mm version — Öhlins lists each size separately. Shim thickness is measured in hundredths of a millimetre because that is the resolution at which damping force changes. Face flatness matters as much as thickness — a shim that does not seal against its neighbour leaks damping. Öhlins stamps and grinds its shims to tolerances a general-purpose washer never holds.

Original Öhlins Part

Öhlins supports units that are decades old, which is why the spare parts list runs to thousands of numbers. Öhlins keeps service parts available for units long after they leave the current price list. If you are unsure which number your unit takes, send us the model and serial number of the damper and we will look it up. We can supply the whole position from the drawing rather than the single piece if that is easier.

How to Be Sure It Fits

Part number 00520-44 is unambiguous; the description alone is not, because Öhlins uses similar wording across sizes. Check inner diameter 12 mm, outer diameter 44 mm, thickness 0.20 mm against what you have removed; a close size is not the same part. A shim is a thin, ground steel washer, and the stack of them is what generates damping. Suspension technicians keep these in stock by size because a revalve means changing several at once.

Fitting and Setup Service

A 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.
