Ohlins Road and Track Bearings/Spacers?
 
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!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...45ed70ee0f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b5dc0c0b55.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...319cf0a0e2.jpg

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

Unfortunately, I tried that. The shock shaft started pushing out of the top hat while driving. Not good. Also there are 2 more spacer-type things that came with it, one a round spacer and the other a sort of large diameter platform, as well as the flanged bushing shown in the picture.

@mav1178 I know your thread, I read it all the way through. You still on the forums?

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[emoji1305]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.
