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.
