Subject:Upper control arm bushing, done.

I finally got around to the upper control arm bushing on my 84 2wd... It's
been rotted and metal to metal now since I don't recall when... I've had
the part for the right side for years, but other vehicles seem to take
precedence, when it comes to my time... I had adjusted the alignment to
compensate for the A-Arm being out of whack...the Vanagon was going
straight and the tires weren't wearing weird, but I never realized how much
noise was coming from that metal to metal connection....
   Stuck in a Meyle bushing and It's now a lot quieter....Next is some
White lower bushings...soon I'll be as quiet as a Prius....
