Just got a Cove Shocker of the classifieds on here and need a bit of help. As it goes: when I am connecting the swing arm to the lower link I can not seem to get it tight enough, there is still slight side to side play. Does a spacer belong in there (strange), or am I just too weak? If pictures are needed let me know.

Did you try emailing or calling Cove? They're quite helpful.
most bikes do have some sort of spacer in that spot... i cannot speak for a cove shocker though. if there is play, either the bearing is thoroughly worn out or you're missing a spacer. email cove, they'll get things sorted for you
I once had a Shocker for a short period of time, loved that bike. Super solid! I am trying to remember... I think there was a spacer on each side.
More likely I think the issue may be that you simply have the wrong pivot axle down there. If you mixed them up, the shorter one may still work at the wrong pivot... but the loner one wouldn't. Thats my guess.

cool, and now go out an enjoy your shocker!
Cool, I swear I shipped all the parts (and I don't have anything sitting in my living room still), but I'm glad to hear you figured it out. Have fun.... it's an awesome ride.
