[QUOTE="mxneagle, post: 1025797, member: 21267"] The shock needs to free float on it mount points so that it can align perfectly with the motion of the linkage (thinigs aren't made perfect and the swingarm will deflect under side loading also). If it was a rigid mount there could be side loads placed on the shock causing it to bind and wear out the bushings and body. Interestingly you can feel the bind on you front forks when there is an off axis load applied, that is when you slap the front end down off a jump. [/QUOTE]
