i said suspension REBUILD. involves going through the ENTIRE forks AND shock. if you have ever felt a worn suspension you would realize the importance of getting a rebuild at least once a year.
if the seals need replaced then its a good chance that they are long overdue for a rebuild. so you can take cheap course and replace seals and oil or take the correct course and get a rebuild and have a suspension that feels brand new.

Elko after the bushings and seals what is left?? When u send ur stuff to factory connection or w/e thats what gets changed...."The Bushings!!".
If ur not getting a re-valve which is removing and replacing shim stacks or having a modification to a dampening rod then all that is changed is bushings, seals and oil and anyone as smart as a fifth grader can handle the job. nk

yea...i know where they are. i love those videos...but that's just a seal and oil change.
i think when they are talking about rebuild they are talking about they whole kit and caboodle...like springs, damper rod, etc, etc, etc

above the post hit the search button, type in fork oil change, the third post down" how to change your fork oil" has a link to a decent adobe instructional download.
