Just as I think I've figured out rear suspension, I get this curveball.
Thought it'd be easy to get some new bushes and a fitting kit to take out the slop but TFTuned can't help.
The shock eyelets are 15mm wide and the diameter of the rod seems to be about 13mm, measured as accurately as I can.
Can't find any technical information on the shock to confirm these figures, any input would be appreciated.
RST don't have a UK distributor as far as I can tell.
Also no manual or tech guide on their website.
I guess the best bet is a new shock and fitting kit, but that's more £££ than I was prepared to spend.
The shock was used on several other bikes incl Giant and Marin, so someone else must have had the same problem.
Bike is the Diamondback X-Link.

Local Facebook marketplace find. Have been keeping an eye out for a full suspension frame that may make a good XC bike.
