Subject:Squeaky Upper Control Arm Bushings.
From:Cookson, Noel

I want to replace the upper control arm bushings in my 88 GL. The Bentley
and a previous post regarding this subject makes most of the job seem pretty
straightforward. One exception to straightforward is the spot weld Bentley
calls for when the new bushings are pounded/pressed in to keep them from
spinning.  The previous post covering this repair made no mention of the
spot welds.  Does this mean that most of you who have done this job have
gotten by without the spot weld?
