Upper control arm bushings, squeaks are as common as leaking heads after
about 150,000 miles.  Maybe it is time to mention this repair on
Vanagon.com.  Coyote?


I just replaced mine this weekend.  The job is easy if you have a press,
MIG welder, and a grinder like I do, but even if you don't have these
tools it is easy to remove the upper control arm and take it to a
machine shop for the work.  BusDepot.com has the bushings for about $120
with shipping, and that is a good price.  You will need to have the
front end aligned after you do the job.


It is sooooo nice to have a quiet van again!
