Im not sure on the shock. For the year you mentioned, you meant 1983, and not 93, RIGHT?? The wider axle will be Super rare and hard to find. Im not even 100% sure if they made one for it, but I saw one on ebay a year or two ago that stated it was for the DX, and it was a durablue that was pictured. Spacers would definatly be the way out.

Buy the wheels and hub from a sport yamaha quad. The stock yamaha aluminum wheel are offset from the factory.

200x shock ^^ Ebay has loads of them. Is yours blown? You measure the rear shock from center of eye on top to bottom. I dont really know of any replacement shocks for it that would'nt take serious modification. The biggest problem is how the bottom of the shock mounts, with the wishbone style mount not a lot of options there. Good luck.
