Mavic freehubs (noisy) the bushing issue

Can anyone confirm is it the yellow looking bit in the freehub that compresses and causes all the horrible noise?  

There is also the flimsy looking rubber seal in the other picture that is just down inside the hub body but I think this is just a dirt seal and does not have any structural significance. PXL_20260528_105125459.MP.jpg PXL_20260528_105116877.MP.jpg

Yes, from memory that bushing also causes wear to the axle that it spins on, so simply replacing the freehub doesn't always work, you used to be able to buy oversized aftermarket press-in bushing replacements, which did the job, no idea if they're still available. Disclaimer: it's been a while, not sure I'm 100% right, but that's how I remember it.
