Thanks for the advice Marcus. I thought I would post my findings here for everyone to see.
I don't know if you recall when I 1st asked you about the "skinny bushing" on my one fork that wasn't on the other one, turns out it was the flat washer that the shim had turned completely sideways.
I took my forks back apart to flush, clean and lower the oil level and what did I fine but the flat washer had turned sideways again. The shop was closed so I had to do the same thing as I did last time and bend the washer back to it's normal shape and hammer flat. My forks are back to good working order again but I think I had better replace the flat washer. I don't know how that thing is getting bent. It has to happen on an upstroke because the downstroke would only press it flat. I was careful not to damage it during disassembly.
Thanks agaiin Marcus.
