I just noticed that the bushing at the bottom of the rear shock is a little sloppy , does any one know of the replacement part # or is there a readily available part available through a bearing shop/ industrial supply?

my bike also has this problem but i ignored it because i thought it was to allow the shock to move a little more freely, if we are talking about the same part where the parogresive system does it works i think and it where the fork ist screwed, if you fix this please let me kow so i do the same

I removed the bolt that holds the bottom of the rear shock to the rear of the horizontal link. The bolt did not have wear on it . The bushing moved easily in the link ( too easy I'd assume) . There seems to be a rubber layer on the outer diameter of the bushing but I think it is worn. When I move ( up/down/back/front) the bushing, it kind of clunks. I tried to drive the bushing out by tapping on the collar of the bushing but it seems the collar of the bushing is tight in the link, heating the link to make removal easier doesn't appear to be a good plan if there is rubber on the bushing. Probably need to press it out.
Any thoughts, ideas or even rampant speculation appreciated.

I pressed out the bearing, it wasn't wearing the aluminum housing of the link like I feared it might be, but the bearing was definately shot. I call mike @ tryals shop and he has replacements for 32$ so I'v re installed bearing and will install the new one later.
