Öhlins suspension type 46HMRX
Your new Öhlins suspension features 54 mm
diameter heavy duty inserts and 196 mm stroke.
The suspension has the following adjusters:
Compression damping:
Adjustments are made on the hose connected
reservoir.
Low speed adjustments: Slotted centre screw.
High speed adjustments: Hexagon screw, use a
13 mm key.
Rebound damping adjustments:
The adjuster is at the bottom of the strut, use a 3
mm Allen key.
Spring preload:
Adjustments are made with adjustment rings on
the strut casing. Use the c-spanners.
When delivered the Öhlins suspension is dialled
to recommended settings for the specific brand
and make of the vehicle. For extreme rallies like
the Safari Rally, the setting usually needs to be
changed, talk to your distributor.
NOTE!
If you have turned the adjuster without counting the
number of clicks you must go back to the recommended
settings. Close the adjuster and count the clicks when
turning it counter-clockwise.
CAUTION!
Using too much force when closing the adjusters, will
destroy important sealing surfaces.

Optional springs
There are several optional springs available,
in two different lengths. The longer ones are
intended for rallies where the car needs to
be raised, for instance the Safari Rally.
If the car needs to be raised more than what
is obtained with the allowed distance A be-
low , external spacers (packers) should be
used to prevent the spring from bottoming.
WARNING!
In order to prevent bottoming the spring out, the
list below shows the maximum distance A between
the upper flange of the upright bracket and the
bottom of the lock nut, se fig.

Mounting instructions
1
Lift the car so the front wheels are clear of
the ground. Make sure it´s steadily fixed so
it will not fall down.
2
Remove the wheel and loosen the lower
strut attachment. Support the upright, to
reduce the risk of damaging the brake hose.
3
Loosen the top mount (three nuts) and
remove the standard strut
CAUTION!
Avoid the use of an impact wrench when remov-
ing the top mount from the strut, since this can
cause the piston nut to loosen from the piston
shaft.
4
Check the marking on the Öhlins front struts
to locate left or right front.
5
Fit the Öhlins strut to the car. First put the
hose connected reservoir through the hole
in the inner fender. First fit the top mount
then the lower bracket. Put the supplied
sleeve (00123-15) in the upper hole in the
upright. Use screw (00432-03) and flange
nut (00139-04) for this hole.
Refit the wheel.
NOTE!
Pointing the hose forward and tilting the lower
part of the strut forward, will ease the mounting
of the strut.
6
Fit the hose connected reservoir to the strut
brace by using the rubber mounts and hose
clamps. Do not overtighten the strut brace.
See owners manual of the car.
CAUTION!
The hose must not be restricted and should run
in soft turns. Be sure to use sufficiently long bolts
for the upright bracket. Use flange screws and
flange nuts or use thick washers.

Continue your work accordning to Owners
manual, section adjustments.
