    Hi All,
    I'm doing some maintenance on my rear shock and swingarm linkages on my sm610 after about 8500kms (mostly road riding +3% dirt). I noticed that both the top and bottom rear shock bolt have about 0.5 mm of radial play in the upper/lower shock bushing. Wanted to find out if this is normal?

    If I need to replace both the top and lower shock bushes, are there any recommendations ie just replace with the same OEM bushings, or is there some better aftermarket alternative?

    Did a search here on bushings, found a few threads, but wasn't totally clear if this radial play is worth worrying about.

    Thanks.
