One of the fork seals has started leaking and I'm going to replace it.
I've read the guide and plenty of other posts on the subject, so know what's entailed.
What I am not so sure about is whether I need to replace the bushing too. Budget is tight, so I don't want to spend out if I don't have to. If the bushings are worn, what's the downside of not replacing them?
Bike has done just over 60K and I don't know if/when any of the fork internals were serviced. The dust caps do look a bit chewed, as if they have been removed/lifted and re-used.
