When I was pulling my shock out last night I noticed this side to side play in the rocker arm:
https://giphy.com/gifs/SVlk4kYjBfjj1aV3AGI filmed that with the rear of the bike suspended so there was no weight on the suspension. The shock and ride height rod were bolted up. I did not remove the rocker arm in the process.
The manual states to check the rocker arm for play in the bearings. With the shock and ride height rod disconnected, it rotates smoothly and doesn't have any play around the axis it rotates on. With the bike back on the ground, everything feels solid although I suppose a human may not be able to exert enough force to get it to move with the weight of the bike on it.
Is this normal or cause for concern?
