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
