I believe that Go Westy or perhaps I read it on the Samba that one of the biggest problems with upper control arm bushings is poor installation procedures.

Here's Go Westy's article: http://www.gowesty.com/library_article.php?id=1144

Here's the one from the Samba: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=272333

There's some good information here for anyone interested.

I actually thought about using some JB Weld instead of having them spot welded, as overheating them seems to be a big problem. I need to change mine out this summer.
