On a brand new fork, never been out on a trail.

Is this from a marred bushing or lack of lubrication in the bushing?

Thanks

fudged bushing, call zokie and get em to sort you out. bummer man, gotta hate it when a new part new even see trail time due to manufacturer error.
Maybe something is stuck in your seals, might be worth a look-see, but call zokie first so you have total deniability.
