I second this. (like Dennis' information needs that  --- ;^)

And on that note, how dependant are the bushings and their sqeakiness
on temp/weather?

My Westy got squeakier recently and I can only figure that ambient
temp has something to do with it..... or age.

Or that it's getting more use on bumpy roads.

Oh no, that couldn't be it!
