    Should I have a shim in main linkage pivot?

    Looks like you need bigger upper shock mount bushings.

    Without a bushing in main linkage it all fits and seems to work. Just not sure if should have bushing there.

    That does not sound right. If you let the air out of your shock and give the shock a shake, does it rattle?

    It does not rattle with air out. Here is pic with no Bushing in Main pivot. Do the bushings look right on upper shock or have I mislaid wider ones somewhere? Cheers. The first pic on this thread was with bushings in Main pivot. Other pic shows main pivot. Anyone see bushings in theirs at all?

    Giant got back to me and confirmed no bushing/shim in main pivot on my bike. Can get back riding! Cheers all.
