My 2005 Limited XREAS shock system has become bouncy, and my T4R odometer passed 100K miles several weeks ago. I will be replacing the shocks soon, and I remember reading once that it is a good idea to replace the suspension bushings (these are the ones where the swingarms and such rotate at the frame?) when the shocks are replaced. How long are these suspension bushings lasting in T4Rs? Should they be replaced before or during shock replacement, or are the shocks and bushings replacements completely independent so the sequence of replacement doesn't matter? For what it is worth, I'm strongly considering putting in a new XREAS system because I like how it performs on the road, and I don't go offroad on more than light to medium rutted dirt roads in my travels. I'm hoping to drive the 4R at least another 100K miles.
