Obviously, I'll polish the damper wires. Can I clean the graphite out of the bushings, say with naptha and a pipe cleaner, or should I just go ahead and re-bush? The bushings don't seem to have any excess play in them, so I'd like to save her some money by just cleaning and lubing, but not if this is going to come back and bite me in the butt in a couple of years.

Actually I'd be surprised if it takes any longer than trying to clean up the mess that you've got. Phil F Go Get It! Send FREE Valentine eCards with Lycos Greetings http://greetings.lycos.com
