Vertical Play In Swing Arm Linkages

Hi, I've just bought a beautiful ST4 which has been lovingly maintained with lots of dealer history. One thing worries me though, if I lift the rear wheel while the bike is on it's centrestand there is a couple of mil of play vertically somewhere in the swingarm or suspension linkages.
I've heard that early ST's suffered from issues with the swingarm pivot which wore unevenly and is not a simple fix, but i'm hoping it's not that since there is no sideways play.
Any ideas?
