Does anyone know if one can buy rubber front suspension bushes instead of nylon (to soften the ride) ??

ASFAIK - The standard bushings are rubber and the brightly colored ones are polyurethane. Vicks, Alisons and Ricambi most of the time stock both.

Standard tire pressure should be at about 26 psi so I would start there and then verify if you have adjustable shocks set too stiff or possibly too stiff a set of shock absorbers for your preference.
