Øyvind,
It is not unusual for LEGO to include extra numbers of small parts,
including bushes, pins and 8 tooth gears (also 1x1 round plates etc in
non-technic sets).
I assume this is because the machines are less accurate counting the smaller
parts, and they'd rather include 1 extra than have lots of people calling
them up with pieces missing. But I could be wrong.
