i know its prolly not normal but let me know what you guys think.

No that is not normal. I dont' know how to replace that bushing in there. You may want to check your swinger and suspension link bearings as well.

the rest of the bearings are all tight. that is the only one that is bad.





does any one know how and wheir i can get the bearing???

well i guess upon further inspection the bushing in the shock linkage and the shock are all bad.

i couldn't see the video, but i'm guessing it was the upper shock mount?
there is another thread on here talking about it, i believe there was some posts by flynbryn or something close to that so look for that thread. i don't think its replaceable but someone found a link to some allballs part that was supposed to do it.
i had to make my own upper shock mount for my elka, so i'm sure you could do the same with the stock shock its just a matter of time and if you have a lathe.

i was also very impressed with the allballs bearings kit. i've used them in the linkage, swingarm, and bearing carrier before and there all great. the linkage kit is only $70 and comes with all the bushings, bearings, and seals and each piece is individually wrapped and everything fits great

i actually found some shock bushings on ebay from allballs. oh and yea it is the upper shock mount along with the rest of the shock linkage bearings.

and the linkage kit comes with the lower shock mount so don't buy that seperate

so if i buy the linkage kit dont buy the shock kit?? or do i buy the linkage kit and upper bushing?

If the upper shock bushing is the rubber cushioned bushing they do not make replacements for them. I am trying to find a replacement for mine and will probably have to make one fit. I have gotten some suggestions and will try them out and let you know the outcome.

yes it is the upper shock bushing that is the worst. well that is a bummer guess it will stay like thast for a lil while.

the linkage kit comes with the lower shock bearings. i was pretty sure they didn't sell the upper bushing, guess i was right.

if you can make that blockoff plate, it'll only take about 5 min. to make some bushings for the top mount. i can't remember what the stock shock looks like, but like i said the ones for my elka were really easy to make

i dont have a lath to make the upper bushin with.
