rock shox lifetime??

so i just got my faulty rockshox replaced last fallish with rockshox dart 2. but it would appear that the bushings are already wearing out. i've only put on about 500 k this spring and i have no idea how many last fall. and most of this has been road riding - no stunts or anything. how long should these be lasting me???

If you've got the ability to register and reply on a web forum...

why would it be so difficult to find the information you're looking for form, you know, say, the Rock Shox website?

AVT: I'd think your fork ought to last a bit longer. Have your shop check it out; either needs some basic service or sending back for warrantee if something is really wrong.
