Look at a drawing of how the shock link is assembled. Here's a good one:

Look at the parts inside and the instructions for assembly and tightening. Yours might not be tight enough.
The other tight links might have a lot of dried grease in them. And the rubber grease seals, when in good condition, do stop the link from turning so easily. There is also supposed to be a metal cap over the rubber piece. But if the rubber is missing or damaged, you don't have that restriction on movement.
If you take the link off to clean it up, add the rubber parts, etc., check the shock absorber operation by moving the arm up and down with your hand. There should be some pretty good resistance to movement if the shock is working.
