Loose shock arm
The right rear shock arm continues to be loose even tho I have tightened the securing bolt. I'm thinking that I can loosen the bolt and slip a rod bearings him in the gap and snug things up without having to remove the wheel and then the shock assembly.

Re: Loose shock arm
If you don't have another shock arm. I have seen where a die grinder was used to remove a little material at the slot. You have to remove the bolt first.

Re: Loose shock arm
I shimmed 3 of the 4 sides of the shock's stud using thin shims for the rod bearings. It is tight now

Re: Loose shock arm
The steering drag link, the shock arms and rear brake arms are all of the same design, and all need occasional tightening.

Re: Loose shock arm
Two short trips and the shims are still in place.
