: What The #@$% Else Could Fail?

Just got my 01ZR5 back from a drive shaft bearing replacement. 100 miles later I now have an extremely bent rear shock shaft and parallel bars. I had the shocks all rebuilt earlier without trouble. I rode about 75miles on the bad bearing before replacing it and my track was out of alignment. Is it possible I stressed the rear shock at that time?

Also, I posted last week a strange vibration through my feet after the bearings were replaced but couldn't figure where it was coming from.

I just cannot imagine how I bent the shock. Do these things stick? Everything looked like it was properly reinstalled (ie skid frame). Any thoughts?
