[/QUOTE]2. Replace all the bushings. They are cheap and it's one of those, "well you're in there" type of things. If you can see the copper, like the pic, they're worn out. Don't replace them and you'll start to wear out the forks themselves.

You didn't need to replace those. You look at the Teflon side of the bushings. You have an inner and outer bushing. If the Teflon (black/grey layer) is on the outside of the bushing, then it wont be on the inside of that bushing. Same goes for the other bushing. Inside has the Teflon and the outer does not. The Teflon area is what touches the forks. It's ok to see copper on the non-Teflon sides.
