Here's my experience. Sorry, no Pics. http://www.vanagonauts.com/Upper-Control-Arm-Bushing-R&R223.htm I installed the urethane bushings from t3technique.com about a year ago because the 3 yr old replacements were complaining. They are very nice and have stainless sleeves. The bushing can be removed for re-greasing as they are a 2 piece sleeve setup. http://t3technique.com/suspension-bushings/powerflex-suspension-bushings/upper-control-arm-bushings.html John Meeks '91 Vanagon MV Phoenix Stock 2.1 250K miles Northern Michigan Vanagon Rescue Squad <http://www.vanagonauts.com/Vanagon-Rescue-Squad74.htm> Android and iOS apps www.vanagonauts.com On Mon, May 20, 2013 at 1:31 PM, Troy <colorworks@gci.net> wrote: > I need to replace my control arm bushings this summer.
