Nobody makes the bushing I need anymore.  Decided to reuse the best 2 of 4 and run with it.

This leads me to my next weird problem.   When taking things apart I carefully bag or cup everything, for easier reassembly.   Out of four fork legs, I only have one of these on the damping rods:



I'm not sure if I can run without these things, or if I need to play more fork roulette on Ebay to try and get another one.  

Also weird -- this little spring thingamajig isn't showing on the parts diagram:

Are you referring to the rebound springs? my 89 forks don't have them.

There was only one of those springs in 4 fork legs I disassembled.  Weird.  The set I rebuild doesn't have the spring.
