    To me this looks incorrect,its on a 95 360,the shock is marked up as a Showa GH03.Anybody any idea if this is right shock absorber.Also the seat height is incorrect with the 95 spec,varying by some 60mm.Any answers would be appreciated

    have you checked to see if your swing arm and linkage bearings are junk?

    also some careless citizen might have put a different linkage on[ebay] -a TE linkage on a wr will fit but you get lower seat height and wheel contact w the rear fender

    Everthing is tight solid with no play sideways, although when lifting the rear of the bike there is movement 5mm.But not 60mm(seat height diffrence),also its impossible to get to the compresion damping screw as its behind the linkage,and the bottom of the shock is sitting on the linkage,is this normal?

    Just take the bike off the stand and put your belly on the seat. This will compress the rear spring enough that you will be able to see the rebound screw.- or get somebody else to sit on it.

    Cheers Steady,sorted it with a ratchet strap,through frame and swing arm.Again i dont suppose any body knows the correct shock for this model of husky,and weather the shock should sit on the linkage?

    I don't know anything about your bike and linkage, but metal rubbing on metal (shock on linkage) doesn't sound correct. I wouldn't run it like that.

    As Blake said, no it should not. That is a recipe for bending a shock shaft or breaking a linkage or both.
