A check valve holds pressure in one direction and opens in the other; a worn one lets damping bleed away. A worn piston band lets oil past the outside of the piston, which shows up as damping that has gone soft. Piston bands are consumables — they wear against the bore and lose their seal gradually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOriginal Öhlins Part\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA damper that can be rebuilt is a damper that stays on the bike; that is the whole argument for original service parts. Öhlins publishes dimensions for its service parts so a workshop can verify before it fits. Ask us before ordering if you are unsure: a wrong part in a pressurised unit is an expensive lesson. We can supply the whole position from the drawing rather than the single piece if that is easier.\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 — 15840-02 in this case. This position has no published dimension, so the part number is the only reliable identifier. Öhlins builds the seat into the housing so the sealing face is machined, not pressed. Valves hold pressure in one direction and open in the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you would rather not open the damper yourself, we can do it — we are an authorised Öhlins service centre and rebuild these units as a matter of routine.\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 15840-02\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCategory:\u003c\/em\u003e Valves\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":53649889820938,"sku":"15840-02","price":8.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/15840-02_17674e8d-25da-446d-9ab1-746118eb4128.png?v=1788876678","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/ohlins-spring-valve-rod-70-n-15840-02","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
