When changing fork oil seals, it's generally a good practice to also replace the bushings (often referred to as "DU bushings") if they show signs of wear or damage. This is because worn bushings can lead to poor fork performance and can damage new seals, leading to leaks. If the bushings are in good condition, they can be reused, but inspecting them thoroughly is essential before making that decision.
