Automotive Suspension Valving Shims & Washers

Teknik Shims

Shims

All rebuildable suspensions need shims & washers — Teknik stocks more than 2 million parts for damping valving. Our range includes standard valving shims, bulk kits, ring shims, check shims, cup washers and valve stop washers. If you need to swap damping shims use the Shim Factor Calculator to compare stacks — one 0.30mm shim is not the same as two 0.15mm shims. Shared parts for forks and shocks such as locknuts, teflon-lined shaft collars, acetal rod bushes, refill springs and o-rings are also available for servicing and tuning.

Purpose and Use of Shims

  • Tune damping valving and mid-speed behaviour
  • Replace basic wear parts every rebuild
  • Maintain oil and gas sealing with o-rings and cup washers
  • Secure damping pistons with locknuts and reduce friction with rod bushes

Recommended Pairings

Consider matching shims with Suspension Tools and related fork and shock parts such as fork locknuts & bushes and shock locknuts & bushes. Read our lock nuts and fasteners and suspension fluid weights table for technical guidance.
