Where It Sits

14 mm, 302 mm: that is the whole specification, and it has to match what came out. Shaft straightness matters: a bent shaft drags in the seal head and destroys the seal within hours. Adjuster shafts run inside the main shaft on units with a rod-through adjuster. Shaft diameter sets the volume displaced into the reservoir on every compression stroke.

Why the Original

A damper that can be rebuilt is a damper that stays on the bike; that is the whole argument for original service parts. Suspension is one of the few areas where the original part is genuinely the cheaper decision. If you are between two sizes, send us the measurement and we will check it against the catalogue. For a full rebuild, the seal kit plus the wear parts is usually the sensible order.

How to Be Sure It Fits

Öhlins identifies this position by the number 05608-06 in the exploded view for the unit it belongs to. The published dimensions are diameter 14 mm, length 302 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.
