[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 44911, member: 16552"] I can see the forward mount (attaching the linkage to the frame) on my bike move within the frame when I unload the rear suspension and move the rear tire up and down. I can feel it 'knock' when the suspension unloads when riding. The bearings LOOK ok..plenty of grease (I've serviced them a couple of times in the past year& 1/2). The collar movement on the bearings is smooth. I detect no movement by hand between the collar and the bearings with the linkage out of the bike. The bolt-to-collar fit isn't terrific, but another bolt fits the same way (moves somewhat). My question is, is this a bearing failure? A collar-wauller (new word?),..what? With the last bolts for my devol pull rods running about $15 each, the fewer pieces I have to get to fix this, the better I'll like it!! Thanks for the input!! ------------------ [list] [*][b]OLD[/b] member 'oh-oh' KDX 200 '86 Nighthawk 700 SC (a motorcyle even if it doesn't have a chain!) [/list] [/QUOTE]
