easier just to replace both control arms, especially if you are already =
changing one.

  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.
