So my frame is an 86 and I believe I have an 86 swingarm. I think the shock is an 86 also. I'll measure when I get home. The problem is the linkage I think. The center dog bone bushing ID is 12mm. The main bolt that goes through the shock and linkage is 12mm. BUT the shock holes are 14mm and the 2 outer linkage bushing ID are 14mm. Makes it super sloppy. Mismatched parts?? Thanks Jason

It looks like the wishbone part of your linkage is upside down & it also looks like the dogbone might be in backwards. The dogbone has 2 different size bushings. Does that bolt in the pic have a grease zerk on the head end & 2 holes that line up with the wishbone bushings? Looks like it could possibly be the wrong bolt?
Your doggone is definitely in backwards. The end that bolts to the swinger takes a 12mm bolt & the end that goes to the shock & wishbone takes a 14mm bolt with a zerk in the end of it. You also have the wrong bolt at that connection if it's only 12mm. Your wishbone is upside down to but it might not hurt it to be that way. Generally though the raised bosses on the end of the wishbone legs face down. Hope this helps.

hard to see what exactly your measuring but if you have a 85 dogbon and link the bolt that goes through those and the shock is smaller.the 86-89 use a larger bolt there than the 85.

This is what's so great about off-road enthusiasts & especially R lovers is the willingness to help out complete strangers free of charge to be able to keep each other ripping our R's on whatever terrain we ride.... The bolt you have looks like the right one cmorris. If it's from an 86 atc that bolt works on all years of the trx. Only one different is the 85 atc.
