    should i be able to move the rear shock on my bike with my fingers, id say i can "wiggle" it between a good 1/8" and 1/4". i tried to tighten teh bolt but it was tight already. didnt knwo if it was suppose to be able to have some wiggle to it or not but the bolts tight so thats not the prob if there is one.

    Not sure ... I don't think the shock on my 08 TXC250 moves ... Are you just grabbing the spring and the entire shock moves, top or bottom or both ends? Is the back tire off the ground when you do this test to the bike? Maybe the little pivot bearing on the bottom of the shock's arm is gone out?

    like if i grab the adjustment cannister"resivior"?? on back i can move everything. i can see the top of the shock movint too, is there a rubber deal in the topof the shock mount?? if so, its almost like the rubber is shot

    OK, my shock will move move side to side slightly if I grab that silver canister attached to the shock and twist it but it feels like it is rubber mounted and cushioned...

    If yours feels like metal to metal, you might wanna inspect more closely ... Do you hear any noises when 'hauling the mail' around your track?
