The dust seal does the hard work: it keeps the grit that would score the shaft away from the oil seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Öhlins service part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 15452-04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFunction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis position is identified by its number rather than by a dimension. Static seals and dynamic seals are not interchangeable even in the same size. Cross-section is as important as diameter: an O-ring that is too thin will not seal at pressure. An oil seal that has hardened lets the shaft pass oil past it, and the damping fades long before the leak becomes visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Original\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe part is identical to what Öhlins fits in production — same supplier, same specification. Parts remain available years after a unit leaves the current price list, which is unusual in this trade. If you are between two sizes, send us the measurement and we will check it against the catalogue. Öhlins parts are unit-specific: a close dimension is not a substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Be Sure It Fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reliable route is the exploded drawing: find the position, read the number, order it — 15452-04 in this case. Where no measurement is given, the drawing position is what identifies the part. Seals are the part of a damper that decides whether it holds its gas charge and its oil, and they are the usual reason a unit ends up on the bench. Öhlins uses seals with a spring-loaded lip so they follow the shaft as it wears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA damper rebuild is workshop work: it needs the unit dismantled, the shim stack rebuilt in the correct order and the gas charge reset. We are an authorised Öhlins service centre and do exactly that in house — send us the unit or ask us to fit the part with your order.\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 15452-04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCategory:\u003c\/em\u003e Seals\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":53652351615242,"sku":"15452-04","price":55.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/15452-04_c5e0f51a-976c-4775-884d-a97417748319.png?v=1788878871","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/ohlins-seal-platform-fork-bottom-kyb-air-15452-04","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
