[Vwdiesel] front strut bearing question

Hello out there,

As far as any of ya'll know, is there a heavy duty version of the upper
strut mount for A1's?  Polyurethane maybe?  Also, anybody know of any
polyurethane bump stops that can be had?

The front struts on the truck are shot, so the plan is to replace them with
heavy duty Bilstein struts and urethane everything.  Ball joints and wheel
bearings will get replaced while I'm at it, and the outer CV boots if
they're looking dry.  Anybody recommend replacing the A arm bushings?  My
rabbit has ~340K and I've never done it, just wondering if anybody's seen a
difference.

thanks, john k.
