I noticed a small amount of vertical play with the rear end of my ASR5. If I hold under the seat and lift, you can feel the rear end move a tiny amount relative to the rest of the frame. I don't think this is normal - is it? I thought this was due to the bushes on the shock being worn so replaced these, but the play is still there. It seems to be coming from that area, so I took the top hats out and tried them in a new bushing. They are smaller than the bushing - is it possible these have become worn themselves and need replaced? The top end seems tight enough, it's just the top hats at the shaft end that seem to have this problem. Does anyone know where you can buy the top hats on their own? I can't see these anywhere in the shop.
Next question! While I have all of this off, I thought I would replace the bearings in the linkage as after I popped the seals off, they were pretty cruddy. Any bright ideas how to get the bearings out of the linkage? Or is this a job for a shop. I used a vice and sockets to get the old bushes out, not sure if the same approach will work with the linkage
