550 YSS rear shocks

Oddjob:
The lower mount must be able to move slightly, so don’t lock them in place if you do use washers.

DomP:
OK Ken, that makes it more awkward trying to find washers with a close enough tolerance.  I even gave them the bushing width when I returned them because the first set were very much too wide and with 8mm thread not 10mm.

Oddjob:
If the gap is that small that finding a washer could be a problem then it's not vital a washer is fitted.

DomP:
Should it not clamp up to the inner metal collar of the bushing as then any flex is taken by the rubber?  Have you seen the gap in my photo Ken?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Is the bush on the swing arm central and fully home?
How does the top fitting alignment look, is the damper unit nice and perpendicular in the frame axis if you get my drift?
