[QUOTE="mr.paul, post: 866733, member: 6454"] Well, the dealership finally got a chance to pull it apart. Seems like I not only need seals, but the bushing (s?) are in need of replacement too. Only a bit over 41,000 miles. Does this seem normal? If I could have planned better (hindsight) I would have considered an upgrade. I don't remember hearing much about seals or bushings going bad on FJR's. Well, at least I was right on worrying about that clunking on braking. Radman did chew me out for not changing the fluid sooner when we cleaned and refilled the forks 2 years ago. Hope they get the parts in early so I can try it out on what will be left of the CFO! They had to next day air the bushings. Bummer. mr.paul [/QUOTE]
