Suspension link play

Rad2474

When i grab my seat post and pull there's a very small about of play I've tracked it down to the top shock linkage bushings and was wondering if this is normal on some bikes it's a 4 bar link on a kona tanuki. The play is where the bolt goes through but the holes aren't elongated or worn all other links on the bike are tight with no play.

Sounds like you need to replace the eyelet bushing that those spacers you've pictured push into.
