E160S shape.it yoke loose

[Ianatstanage]

I've had a Whyte E160S from new and have ridden some 600 miles on it.
The shape.it yoke is now noticeably loose.
There is about 1.5mm of movement at the shock attachment end.
Should I be worried?
Does the shape.it need replacing?
The bike is 2 months out of warranty.
Cheers,
Ian

Could be just the bush.

Do you mean when you have the shock off the bike with the link attached that there is some play between shock and link? If so, mine was like that from new, so I don't think it's an issue. As long as there is no play when everything is attached together.

Shock is still on the bike. Will try and get some photos to better explain.

That doesn't sound great then!

Hi Ian - the yoke shouldn’t be loose - I assume the bolts holding it to the suspension are tightened correctly? Could you do me a favour and measure the height from the middle of the crank bolt down to the ground with the bike upright and no one sitting on it please and let me know the height in cms… my e160 is sitting very low and I need to know the height it should be - thanks a lot
