Recently installed a single Burgtec offset bush on my orange five. There is now play in my suspension setup.

Should the through bolt be tight inside the offset hardware, as its sitting loose in mine but the through bolt is tight in the standard hardware in the other end of the shock?

No the bolt shouldn't be tight. The reducer (offset but) should be reasonably tight in the shock bush. Did you change the bush when you installed the offset kit?

Yep. The bush is new. It seems as if the hardware is maybe slightly too narrow then and not getting clamped tightly?

So update on this.

Checked various different bushes and mount hardware and there is still slight play with them all. This was never the case before I fitted the titanium hardware. Could it be possible that the titanium has worn away the frame slightly so the hardware is now not fitting properly?

Frames an orange 5
