Just done a seals service on my 2008 Fox Float 120 as per the guide on here

Pretty straigtforward,thanks.
I noticed a couple of light wear marks on one of the fork stanchions which are in line with what seem to be metal strips (6 of them I think ) on a sort of 2 inch plastic ring below the foam seal in the fork lowers.Sorry ,forgot to take a pic. Is this the bushing?
Looks to me like two of these strips have rubbed against the stanchion causing the wear.Is this feasible?

Yep, stantions have worn, usually due to lack of servicing, how often they been serviced ?
Be as well to strip them yourself and give them a bit of a service to keep them going as long as poss, they'll probly last a good while yet tho.
Only propper fix is a new crown / steerer / stantion.0
