2.No most of the time it is just the Top bushings that go bad.
3.I paid 17 dollars shipped from Gary you can find his contact info here http://rattlebars.com/cart/bushings.html

Thank you for your responses. I must be passed due, my bike has over 72000 miles on it.
Guess I will really notice it when I change them.
Best change all 4
