DescriptionThe whole story▼

Shaft 8/214.5, Öhlins part number 02256-18. Surface hardness is what lets the shaft survive thousands of cycles through a seal.

Key Features

  • Length 214.5 mm
  • Original Öhlins service part
  • Öhlins part number 02256-18
  • Diameter 8 mm

Function

8 mm, 214.5 mm: that is the whole specification, and it has to match what came out. Adjuster shafts run inside the main shaft on units with a rod-through adjuster. Corrosion on a stored damper usually starts on the exposed shaft. The damper shaft carries the piston through the oil and out through the seal head.

Genuine Service Part

An original part keeps the unit within its published specification; a near-equivalent quietly moves it. The part is identical to what Öhlins fits in production — same supplier, same specification. For a full rebuild, the seal kit plus the wear parts is usually the sensible order. Ask us before ordering if you are unsure: a wrong part in a pressurised unit is an expensive lesson.

Identifying the Right Part

02256-18 is the Öhlins number for this position — the same one printed in the service documentation. The published dimensions are diameter 8 mm, length 214.5 mm — measure the old part against them if you are unsure. A shaft is threaded at both ends: one for the piston, one for the mounting. Any mark on the polished section is a reason to replace rather than to reassemble.

Fitting and Setup Service

Ask us about a full service: as an authorised Öhlins centre we strip, inspect, replace what is worn and set the unit back to its specification.
