Hi all,
I need to replace my upper control arm bushes and I think I remember reading
that someone on the list had replaced theirs with some aftermarket urethane
bushes.  I love urethane.  I've found anti-sway bushes, tie rod and ball
joint replacement bootees in urethane.  Does anyone on the list know of other
Vanagon parts that can be had in urethane?  How about the upper control arm
bushes?  I'm not a big fan of "metalastic"  as the OEM upper inner bushes are
constructed.  On my British car I've found that a lot of the repo parts with
rubber from Taiwan just don't hold up worth a dam.  The high ozone we have
here in Southern California makes poor quality rubber go away in short time.
Urethane holds up and is often less or the same cost as OEM.  I don't like to
do a job more often than I can get away with.
Please email me at Calwolfie@aol.com
Thanks,
