Ohlins Road and Track Bearings/Spacers? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

idkwhatimdoing · 02-08-2018, 02:21 PM

Hey guys,
I recently bought a set of used Ohlins Road and Track coils w/o camber plates. I want to reuse my stock top hats for both front and rear, but this requires the use of certain spacers.
I have contacted Ohlins numerous times to try and order these spacers, and so far my efforts have been futile.
Does anyone know where I can get these spacers/ what the dimensions are (OD, ID and length) ? Will attach pics and highlight.
Thanks!

Also, I am running Raceseng 2” rear shock tops and I’m not sure where the 3 spacers and bushings fit in order on the shock shaft, could anyone give me ideas? Thank you

mate, try contact Ohlins Sweden directly for replacement. you want pretty snug fit with those spacers or the shocks could make knocking noise.
Good luck

Yeah I just decided to buy CasCam front mounts and I replaced the rear spherical bearings. No clunk

both old spherical bearings in the shock tops were able to be rotated 360° in any direction, and the one that had the clunking issue the ball could move up and down inside the race.

Digging this thread up and probably going to PM you too. I'm having this issue with my rear ohlins shock mounts and am having the hardest time to find spherical bearing replacements. Where did you source your replacements from?

Not who you’re asking, but I use Chris Hagen @ Inertia Laboratory to replace my bearings. He’ll know all about the bearings Ohlins use.
