Subject:Front end help? 88 GL

Hi folks,
    There's been some recent "clunking" coming from my RF wheel well, along
with a little bit of a right hand pull in the steering. On inspection today,
I found some vertical play in that wheel, along with that self-same clunk.
    It looks like the play and the noise is at the forward control arm
bushing. In the Bentley, there's talk of spot welding and press-fitting new
bushings, Haynes calls for a trip to VW.
    I'm figuring that this is not curbside work, if only because it's
alignment related, but I wanted to be sure I'm interpreting this right.

Happy New Year, and thanks,

Matt Sutton
