[Closed] Play in rear shock

I have play in my rear shock of my '04 Enduro.

It's a bit of up and down play.

I presume something needs replacing, but I'm not sure what.

Play is probably about 2mm or so.

It'll just be the bushings that are worn.

£20 for a new set of bushings

And a 'take it to the bike shop to get the new bush fitted' or do it yourself if you're able to extract the bush.

It's a pearl 3.1 on it just now - no idea if it's been serviced ever before. I presume it needs roxk shox busings.

If I replace the whole rear shock with something new, a DT Swiss XM180 (I think it is) what do I need for mounting it?

Pretty sure the Pearl damper is non serviceable if that helps.

What size do you need?

190x50 or I think I can get away with 200x50.

I think the can can be serviced but that is about it.

I've seen a few shocks on ebay, but I like to keep my costs to the mininum with my bikes and feel a 130 quid shock is overkill, but very tempting.
