I have more play than I would like in the lower shock bushing/upper swingarm bushing.
The lower shock and upper swingarm bushings seem worn. There is too much play. The bolt is in good condition. The bushings dont seem to be a replaceable Yamaha part? Does anyone sell bushings? or rebuild the shock and swingarm bushings? I've cleaned them up and lubed them with waterproof grease, for now...get a bit of a 'clunk' when I jump the bike...

I'll call as you suggest...
I'm no expert...the '78 and '79 lower shock bushings look different to me in that photo.?
Maybe...the answer is to use a '79 shock in the '78 chasis so it is rebuildable? Does a '79 shock fit in a '78?
It looks like the same issue with that upper swingarm bushing...it shows up as a replaceable part #38 in the '79 swingarm diagram (bottom), but is not shown in the '78 diagram. So, again, if the bushings are the same...then I can rebuild a '78 upper swingarm with '79 bushings....or I have to get a '79 swingarm to have it rebuildable if its compatible with a '78 chassis...? Kinda the same questions.
