KDX Fork Seal Bushings

I'm replacing the fork seals in my 2003 KDX 200. The two guide bushings on the inner tube appear to have some type of coating on them that is starting to come off at the edges. Is this something to worry about? Should I replace them or is this normal? Thanks.

It's normal for them to wear, they are wear items. Yes I would replace them.

Thanks! In looking at the parts diagram, are they part #92028 and part #44018?

Always replace the seals, wipers and bushings together. No need to use OEM, there are several good aftermarket sets available (All Balls, Pivot Works, MSR...) that cost less (you can do both forks for about the cost of 2 OEM oil seals)

Thanks...I found a bushing kit through Pro-X. I already have the seal kit from All Balls.
