I have treated myself to a shiny new Hagon rear shock but when I came to fit it I noticed that there was more side to side play in the mountings than I expected. Though it's years since I fitted suspension so it could be normal.
I got the calipers out and measured the original Showa mount bushings. Top of Showa is 24.49mm the Hagon is 24.01 the frame measures 25.04.
I know it's only 0.48mm but it's got me wondering I have had a good look in the box to see if there's any washers I have missed but nope.
Just wanted to check before I started torquing the bolts up and possibly turned my frame into scrap.
