Speaking of upper control arm bushings, is there any reason a person could not use JB Weld instead of spot welding those things in?  Seems like all the problems that come about are from heat. I believe "loogy", the guy who sells spacers and so forth on the samba, mentioned he installed some without spot welding at all, and I don't recall if he ran into problems or not.  JB Weld is pretty tough stuff, and if it worked okay would certainly prevent any issues from heat.

This is a job I need to tackle myself this summer, so just wanted to ask if anyone's done that.
