Also,
    The easiest way to get the old front bushings out of your existing
control arms is to drill several holes thru the rubber bushing and then
knock it out with a hammer.

  I'm giving some serious thought to redo the front of my 88 16v with all
new Polyurathane Bushings. I have to replace the lower right control arm
anyway, so I thought this would be a good time because I will already have
the car on a rack.

  Question: Who sells an entire kit for the 16v rocco?  I've seen a couple
of places that sell bushings for a couple of parts, but not an entire kit.

  Thanks guys

  Brando

  ohh ya, one more q, has anyone ever had castor problems with their front
wheels?  This is why I am replacing the control arm. previous owner hit a
pot hole pretty hard and bent the rim, he got a brand new rim, but he failed
to realize he slightly bent the control arm and fried the back bushing,
hence the wheel is not centered in the fender-well.
