Got ya, that may be a possibility. Seems the shock doesnt fit real
tight in the tensioner.

The rubber bushings that the bolts go through. I can not remember if the new
shock comes with them.

Well nevermind my neverming, I just found the washer, it fell out when I
removed the tensioner. It was there, just fell out. Still rattles.
Tensioner doesnt seem to have any play really, is straight and not
cockeyed. The shock seems to dampen. At least its hard to push it in.
Wondered about the spring. Im wondering if its not keeping proper
tension. As I said before, i removed the top bolt and tried prying it
back (to give it more tension), it seems to make a very small difference
but not that much. That little bit I could pry it back might not be
enough though. Guess I should put a new shock and spring on it and see
what it does.

What he said, and check that the shock is still functional -- no

Kleb,
Double check the spring and shock. The spring can break inside its rubber
sleeve and result in too little tension.
