JB will fatigue and crack.
It's good stuff, but it's still just glue.

A MIG can put down an adequate spot weld with surprising little heat.
You don't need a long bead to hold the bushing in place.
If worry persists, just use a damp rag and cool the area after tacking.

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.
