When I first purchased my '86 Jetta The steering would shift right and left 
depending on whether it was under throttle or overrun.  It was not the control 
arm bushing, but rather the stud had broken its weld to the frame, allowing 
the control arm to shift forward and aft.  The design on my '86 led me to 
believe it was designed to break.  I forget why I thought that as it was seven years 
ago.  Something about the stud being welded to the top of the frame member 
and then a significant sized hole rather than a tight one at the lower part of 
the crossmember, or something like that.
