Changing one shim in a stack alters the damping curve measurably; that is why Öhlins sells them individually rather than only as sets. The stack is the tuning: outer diameter sets where the shim bends, thickness sets how hard it resists. A coned or marked shim is finished — it no longer seals against its neighbour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Original\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eParts remain available years after a unit leaves the current price list, which is unusual in this trade. This is an original Öhlins part, not an aftermarket equivalent — the tolerances are the ones the unit was assembled to. Service parts are ordered per piece unless stated otherwise. For a full rebuild, the seal kit plus the wear parts is usually the sensible order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdentifying the Right Part\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart number 00538-38 is unambiguous; the description alone is not, because Öhlins uses similar wording across sizes. inner diameter 12 mm, outer diameter 38 mm, thickness 0.38 mm is what distinguishes this number from its neighbours in the range. Outer diameter sets the lever the oil works against; thickness sets how hard it resists. Öhlins stamps and grinds its shims to tolerances a general-purpose washer never holds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitting service parts means opening a pressurised unit. As an authorised Öhlins service centre we do that here, with the right tools and a dyno check afterwards — just ask.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBrand:\u003c\/em\u003e Öhlins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/em\u003e 00538-38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCategory:\u003c\/em\u003e Shims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eInner Diameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 12 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eOuter Diameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 38 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThickness:\u003c\/em\u003e 0.38 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/em\u003e Sweden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Öhlins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53648849797386,"sku":"00538-38","price":14.0,"currency_code":"TTD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/00538-38_14edf876-71cd-4b6e-a891-81eca3d2944f.png?v=1788872201","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-tt\/products\/ohlins-shims-12-38-0-38-00538-38","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
