12 bearings, Does that mean there are 2 per linkage in the horst links and seat stay links? Blimey!
To be honest, I havn't detected any play anywhere other than in the top shock bush which I took off to check and do an aircan service at the same time. It was then that I noticed that the linkage action sounded quite rough. The culprit seemed to be the main pivot on the shock linkage and turning the bearings using a finger confirmed they are very rough.
There was a little bit of latteral play at the seatstay linkage and the corresponding shock linkage when it was unbolted from the downtube but i'm not sure if this is normal.
