There is a rose joint for the lower shock mount but its in the linkage where the reiger shock connects . There are two spacers which press into the rose joint, the shock lower fork straddles it. That's how it is on both of my RRs. You can see it on the parts diagram.

With zero load on rear suspension my rose joint outer has play left to right, the rose joint is no longer a tight fit in the alloy linkage. No up and down play.

If bearing is not a tight fit in the linkage to the extent it can move left to right then I would change that part of the linkage. Id think this will put more strain on the upper rose joint if the lower one is moving left to right. Before long it will have vertical lift I would think. 

You should be able to twist the shock but the outer bearing surface must be tight in the linkage to work correctly.
