What's the consensus on brand name for upper control arm bushings? I've read threads on the Samba that indicate one brand, while places like a certain shop in Southern California, swear by another. I just want to get rid of the squeaks, and not have them return! Prices seem pretty competitive regardless. Also, I know how to check ball joints for wear, but how does one check for tie rod end wear? Since I'm going to have to do an alignment when I replace the control arm bushings, I don't want to miss something obvious, but my ball joints seem rock solid, so can't see replacing them at this point.

Thanks,

Troy
