rear swinging arm-question.

hi again!

I noticed long ago, but checked I could only today. and here's what I found. the right rear shock absorber too much free play and knock the lower support. I picked up a caliper and measured. the outer diameter of the bolt is 12mm and the inner diameter of the lower sleeve - 14mm and its form was far from right round.. it of course I can improve. I wanted to ask someone of you guys have met similar? or is it a "gift" from the "curves" of the hands of the former owner of a motorcycle? and also wanted to ask-how to check how good the rear shocks on the Savage?

Yeah, it's not bigtwin, but it is the best half of it

Reply #1 - 11/16/14 at 03:18:25 ok. the bottom bolt of the right shock absorber I've corrected-machined bushing made of steel and installed. how many miles(years)can serve the rear shocks? on my Savage they are no traces of oil and rust-like all good.. but! in the front fork periodically we need to change the oil and seals.. what rear shock absorbers?

Reply #2 - 11/16/14 at 07:24:01 I suppose some classic bike restorers rebuild rear shocks,... but on a bike like ours... if they start to weep liquids or get too soft,... You just buy a new pair... Preferably,.. taller ones that actually absorb some bumps... ...
