Subject:Upper Control Arm Bushings

My '87 Westy's upper contril arm bushings are loose, well just one is
actually, on the right side, the front most one.  My question to all of you
is this.  I installed new upper control arm bushings in September of 1995
at 178,200 km and now at 263,000 km one is loose again.  Is 85,000 km a
normal life cycle for these bushings ?  Should I change all of them or just
the one that's loose ?  I was installing my new KYB shocks that I got from
The Bus Depot on Saturday when I found this out.  Never a dull moment when
You own a Vanagon !

Cheers

Frank
