I'll spend some time with >my parts diagram CD to see if I can find related parts. Take a look at this diagram. It's for the NG900, but the parts are the same: http://216.78.172.32/suspension_folder/ng900ftsuspg1.htm The washer shown as #1 is known to bend, it should be flat. The bearing is #3 in the diagram. I also heard some stories about the zinc "spacer" which is #7 in the diagram. I think #1 is about $1, #3 is about $33, and #7 is about $7 (each, per side). If you are doing all the work you mentioned, then you might want to just replace them. I know that some folks have replaced #2 also - the upper mount. I didn't price that one as mine looked OK. I think you can get them from a place like tirerack (if you're in the USA). Bob
