Hey folks. I know there are still a ton of '99 FSRs running around the trails out there, and probably more people that have serviced these frames. Hope a few of you read this.
My 1999 FSR Stumpjumper has a bit of play in the rear triangle. I've isolated it down to the seatstay /rear shock pivot, where the shock meets the dogbone & the seatstay. I pulled out the bolt, and thin washers came out too -- one from under the bolt and the other from under the nut. With the seatstay disconnected, I'm pretty sure I can still feel the play between the dogbone and the shock, though this might be because of the lack of bolt tension?
Shock works fine still, and over all the bike is great. But what can I do to eradicate the slack in that spot? New dogbone? Bushing?
Useful help appreciated.
