A shim is a thin, ground steel washer, and the stack of them is what generates damping. The stack is the tuning: outer diameter sets where the shim bends, thickness sets how hard it resists. Changing one shim in a stack alters the damping curve measurably; that is why Öhlins sells them individually rather than only as sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOriginal Öhlins Part\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins supports its suspension with individual service parts, which is why a fifteen-year-old damper can still be rebuilt to specification. Every part in this catalogue is one Öhlins fits itself during assembly and service. Send us the model and serial number of your unit and we will confirm the position before you order. Öhlins numbers do not follow a logic you can guess — always read them from the documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGetting the Number Right\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e00538-36 is the Öhlins number for this position — the same one printed in the service documentation. inner diameter 12 mm, outer diameter 36 mm, thickness 0.38 mm is what distinguishes this number from its neighbours in the range. Öhlins grinds shims to a flatness tolerance because the faces have to seal against each other. Two shims of the same thickness but different diameter give completely different curves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are an authorised Öhlins service centre, so you do not have to source the tools and the nitrogen: send us the damper and we rebuild it with the correct parts and the correct setting.\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 00538-36\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 36 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":53647057518858,"sku":"00538-36","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/00538-36_2f7bfd09-7fac-4415-ad8a-5a38686c3845.png?v=1788869627","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-zw\/products\/ohlins-shims-12-36-0-38-00538-36","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
