I think they are the same thickness, the clevis has its own cup style washers to compress and seal on the orings on pre '12 bikes. The washer/ oring setup is the best in the business for seal integrity and bearing life, IMO.

Got my terminology mixed up. The thinner washers go on the rocker arm and the thicker ones went to the dog bones. That's how it was on my '12 300 anyway. I initially got them mixed up and when I torqued the bolt the thing wouldn't move! WTH!?! That's how I discovered it. The parts fiche I have doesn't show any thickness or sizes.

There are 3 points that washers are required. 2 of which are on the L shaped rocker. The front pivot slides between 2 brackets. This is where the washers are required. The upper hole in the bracket is where the swingarm axle goes through. The lower hole mounts to the frame. The middle hole needs the washer on the inside edge.

Then the dogbone connects to the back pivot, and the shock mount to the top of the L rocker.

Make sense?

thanks for the link to the fiche.....very helpful

thanks to all!

Update: fixed. Despite all the linkage and subframe being already reinstalled the fix was relatively painless. Slid the axle out, swingarm dropped out easily, washers held in place with a dab of grease, put back together

I have to agree with GMP on how good the linkage is for seal/bearing integrity and long life.
