[Vwdiesel] Jett's control arm bushings

I just did this on my 2003 Jetta, I opted for the whole control
arm w the bushings already in and I replaced the top of the strut
bushing at the same time. Huge difference once I then got it
aligned.  It will cost u just as much to buy the bushings
separate and then when u add the time and effort of pressing the
old ones out and the new ones in to me it's a no brainer. Just my
two cents.
