[QUOTE="Auburn, post: 1440193, member: 5661"] That is typical for the middle bushings. The bottom ones take all the wear. some suspension shops do leave the middle bushing out. I believe their theory is it helps reduce the fork stiction. Not sure most people would ever notice the difference in feel. As I understand it the middle bushing is there to help keep the forks from flexing under heavy suspension loads such as breaking. I haven’t personally left the middle bushing out so I can’t give you any personal feedback, but I would put it in as that’s how they were designed to operate. Changing springs and/or the cartridges have a far greater affect on performance. [/QUOTE]
