Default Sachs 48mm Bushings

I have done a bit of research and noted that others have experienced the same thing. Slight play between the lower fork leg and the upper.

I can actually feel mine when pulling the front brake at walking pace. I think I notice it more now I've just gone to 2 sizes heavier springs so the bike is holding itself up in the stroke more. Braking hard from speed where the forks settle in there is no such feeling. With the bike on the stand grabbing the front wheel and pulling forwards there is enough play to feel. Grabbing the lower legs same result. Grabbing the upper fork tubes its solid. The seals are not leaking. What are the options here, and what is the downside to riding it how it is. They have always had some play, but definately more noticable now.

Anyone sell replacement bushings with a better fit?
