I've been given a second hand Giant ATX 950 full sus frame that I've built
back up into a usable bike.
The rear suspension rattles a bit so I pulled apart the top suspension link
and this is what I found.

As you can see, the pin is badly worn and the link arm has a copper/bronze
bush which is also worn.
Anyone know if it's possible to get the arm rebushed and replacement pins?
Failing that, anyone know any passable DIY fixes?
It occurs to me that the pins *could* possibly be turned down on a lathe and
then sleeved with something and the link arms reamed out slightly to bring
them back to being round. Any thoughts?
