well needed new dust seals/clean/fresh oil
once i dropped the lowers, noticed there were no foam rings? ( all service manuals say to install one) but the gap was about 5 mm, and no ring, or bits of the ring in the oil?
also the bushings were held down by a semi circle spring clip, that slotted into a groove in the lower, about 5 mm below a fitted dust seal
no service manuals show this?

there is no 2008 tora race, the team/race nomenclature came in with the '09 forks.
Which model?0 -
was it a fork that came on the bike? or an OE purchase?
if yes then it does not surprise me."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

The Tora Race started in 2009 and used a bit of a weird lower leg system - old Reba legs, but cheaper sleeved bushings. I have not seen a manual for these.0
