Hi guys,
sooo.... after deciding to change my upper control arm bushings, I
finally looked up the job in my Haynes manual, to find THIS under the
section on the "upper wishbone: removal and refitting":  "If renewal of
the bushes is necessary, this work must be carried out by a VW dealer".

So, uhh, is there some way around this?  I haven't done any spot
welding, which is apparently what this calls for, and am on a REAL tight
budget right now... do I need to just put this job off 'till later?

Thanks for any tips,
Wes
