F80X Knocking = Loose bushings, or normal
I have a Fox F80X that is really pretty lightly used, but new to me, ~2-3 months. When I squeeze and hold the front brake and rock the bike back and forth, as if checking for a loose headset, I get some knocking from the fork. Is this normal, abnormal, etc.?
Maybe time to send it to Push even though it hasn't had a tough life...?
Any thoughts, or help appreciated. Have not found anything in the search function.

Fox considers that normal. The term they use is "hydrodynamic lubrication".
