Correlation is not causation. How exactly would a binding bushing effect the seals?
"The fork issue happened 2mo into heavy testing, so that's okay."
No, it's not really "okay". Seals should not normally "puke oil" after 2 months. Unless "heavy testing" consists of actual all-day-every-day riding for those months to accumulate multiple hundreds of hours while also skipping a couple few scheduled maintenances. At that point it's perhaps "okay" to expect failure, but only because they were abused. Did you abuse them in those 2 months? Or just use heavily within the recommended maintenance window?
