Great video Ken.

I don't have a welder so I found the hardest part of this repair is getting
someone else to understand that you need only the smallest possible tack
welds.  I once had this done locally at a VW specialty shop and they put two
welds a half inch long each on each bushing.  I seriously doubt they quickly
quenched the heat after each weld.  Needless to say, after <8k miles it was
"squeak, squeak, squeak" again.

I clipped a picture of the original tack weld off your video to show in case
I have to do this a third time.

Thanks for the contribution.
