All rebuildable suspensions need shims & washers - and Teknik has the largest collection - more than 2 million in stock. Our range isn't just standard valving shims either: complete bulk kits, ring shims, check shims, cup washers and valve stop washers. If you need to swap damping shims please see our Shim Factor Calculator - one 0.30mm shim is NOT the same as two 0.15mm shims.
These are our pre-made shims kits - but we can make a special kit for you in any configuration - just contact us with a list of what you would like in your kit. They suit motorcycles, road cars, offroad race buggies, circuit racers - anything with traditional oil shock absorbers. Our shims have won AMA SX titles plus national motor racing titles and been punished by around-the-world adventurers. They have stood the test of time.
We started a joint venture with a shim constructor in 2007, making our leaf or flake valves from Sandvik C100S, and our range grows a little every year. We supply 2 large aftermarket suspension manufacturers and a few smaller ones; we can provide drawings if you are manufacturing too.

There are other shared parts found in both front forks & rear shocks; locknuts to hold damping pistons to base towers, teflon lined shaft collars or acetal rod bushes to hold sliding tubes concentric without too much friction, tiny mid-speed valve (also called refill or non-return) springs to help tune your shim stack, rubber o-rings to keep oil and gas pressure sealed from each other. Motorbike suspensions need these when servicing or tuning, and you can find them in our fork locknuts & bushes and shock absorber locknuts & bushes.
If you are a bike workshop or a DIY suspension tuner you should stock up on these basic essential wear parts - they are in everything and should be replaced every rebuild. We also have technical articles that can give you an edge: learn more about those lock nuts and fasteners or become an expert on oils with our suspension fluid weights table.
