The Lainer Suspension cartridge AIR side seal is a service part for WP AER fork systems, used to maintain sealing within the air-side cartridge. It is specified as 12x18x3.75/5 and is listed for WP AER 35, AER 43 and AER 48 applications. Replace this seal when servicing the cartridge or if air-side sealing issues are suspected; it should not be changed if the cartridge is not being opened and sealing performance is stable.
Inside the System
In WP AER forks, the air-side cartridge relies on internal sealing to retain pressure and separate chambers correctly. This seal is intended for the cartridge air side and forms part of the sealing stack that supports consistent operation of the air system.
Serviceability
- Change during cartridge rebuilds and scheduled servicing where the cartridge is disassembled.
- Replace if there are signs consistent with seal wear or damage during inspection (for example, visible deterioration when the cartridge is opened).
- Do not replace solely as a precaution if the cartridge is not being opened and there are no issues to address.
Compatibility
- WP AER 35
- WP AER 43
- WP AER 48
