Technical question on Elka Shock Install

Well I got my shocks last night. I got them install and tight it up well, top and bottom. But I notice that the sock had some free play. Example, if you grab the piggy you can push it back and forward. I’m not sure if this is normal since I notice that the stock did not do it. Is this normal? :3question:

I will have mine on next week hopefully, and I will let you know if there's any play. Otherwise I'd call Elka.

Mine definately have free play, I noticed it after installing them.

While working on my stock suspension (700SE), I noticed the shock can move back and forth a small amount on the mounting bolt, roughly 1/16". I'd say totally normal, the shock pivots on this bolt so it has to be free to do so. I'd say you are good to go. Nice setup btw, seeing all these done up bikes makes my wallet cringe lol.
