shock linkage bearing "play"

[bth2]

i changed a u/s bearing in my linkage today. i had about 1/4 play at the rear wheel. its miles better now but there is still a very small amount of play. i cant see any visible play but can feel it. am thinking there should be no play. would that be correct?

as an aside. in future i will buy better quality after market bearings and seals.(i purchased from wemoto and they supplied allballs nameless bearings.the sleeve and seals were genuine yam spares) also i will try longer bearings. theres loads of room in the lower  housing.

Reviving this tech question. Just noticed the same thing on my bike taking the shock out to replace the spring. There is a ton of play in the dog bones port to starboard. They're tight and there's only 5k miles on the bike. Is this bad? I'm not a professional by any means but this kind of slop gives me pause

Nvm there is way less than in my video. I loosened the wrong bolt just then and it's much better now. Closer to OPs claim of 1 to 2 mm side to side. Phew
