Öhlins hardens and surface-treats its shafts because a scratch on the running surface takes the seal with it. Öhlins offers several lengths per diameter because stroke differs by model. Öhlins offers shafts in several lengths per diameter because the stroke differs by model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOriginal Öhlins Part\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins lists this part under its own number in the service catalogue so a workshop can order exactly what it needs. 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\u003e05500-16 is the Öhlins number for this position — the same one printed in the service documentation. Check diameter 16 mm, length 158 mm against what you have removed; a close size is not the same part. Shaft diameter sets the displaced volume, which is why it is part of the damper's specification. Its polished section runs directly in the seal, so any mark there ends the seal's life quickly.\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 05500-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCategory:\u003c\/em\u003e Damper Shafts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 16 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eLength:\u003c\/em\u003e 158 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":53649208115466,"sku":"05500-16","price":78.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/05500-16_085fb03d-fda6-4092-9f41-caa7d207d71b.png?v=1788874240","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-zw\/products\/ohlins-shaft-16-158-05500-16","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
