Rear spring strut top bush (Sachs unit)

[powroll]

Anyone replaced one of these on a standard G650 Xcountry 07?
Slight play in bush evident when lifting swinging arm.
Materials breakdown on damper shows no service items, any thoughts?

Are you sure it's the bushes?

Have you checked both top and bottom bolts are tight?

Also worth removing the bottom bolt, this can corrode and as a result will wear, giving the impression that you have a knackered rose joint. DAMHIK
