Sphericle bearings in a1 control arms

[jdbubb at ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

I think you've nailed the basic issue; finding bearings with the correct ID
and OD.
That and machining the VW control arms so the mating surface is round and a
good fit on the bearing.
SRS charges an addtional $160 for the control arms. A pretty decent amount
over the $50 for unmodified control arms.

major snags I can forsee are finding the bearings with correct I.D. + O.D.
and then preventing corosion.
