Default Problem with rear shock on 2003 Raptor?

I have a 2003 Raptor and if you grap the rear shock and try to twist it, it seams to have some play, more play than I am comfortable with, does anyone else have this problem or is it normal on the raptors! Thanks for your help!!

Well if I could talk any of you into going out and grabbing your rear shock and trying to twist it a little bit and see if it has some play, mine will move about a half of an inch. Thanks for taking the time to check, if know one else's shock moves I will take it to the shop and have them fix it!!

This is normal. Your rear shock has ball type bushings in it on both end which allow it to twist some. Forgetaboutit.
