Aaron, I take it you mean Trac. arm bushings. Ones from the spindle to the center of the car. The strut will seperate from the spindle. 3 bolts w/safety locks. These can be a REAL bitch to get apart.You have to seperate them to replace the ball joints.  If you can bring me the arms and bushings I can replace them.I would have to go to Lockharts to use his bushing press. If you didn't need ball joints I could have replace your struts inserts and bushings on the car in about 2 hours. Your ball joints are whats going to be the bitch most of the time seeing you haven't done these before. Not a fun job.  I hope you marked the bolts on the trac-arms before you took them out . They are you camber ajustment bolts. You will have to get the front aligned anyway. I just love Super Beetles :lol:

Aaron, Get them to me. As far as your parts go, If you are going to furnish them,get the best that you can afford. We need to check out the strut top caps to be sure the bearings are OK. You can't really tell about these until you take the coil spring off.

Aaron, if you are looking for parts for a Super Beetle front end, look here:  http://www.toplineparts.com . . . they have the best Super Beetle bushings on the market.  And they don't just sell parts . . . every time I've delt with them, the guy on the phone had driven a Super Beetle to work.  These folks drive and race Supers daily.  They know their stuff and they have good parts.  They don't have cheap parts, but they do have good ones.  Their web site has lots of info.  It's good reading material if you plan to work on a Super Beetle.

Aaron, That depends on what you want me to do. I'm guessing you are going to furnish all the parts ?

Aaron, I don't how you are going about removing the strut. You should have the load off the strut and out from under the fender. If you take the 2 bolts out from the sway bar bracket ( 1 per side) , the strut will swing out after removing the 2 nuts on top (in trunk) NOT THE CENTER NUT.

Well everyone I had someone come look at the bug today, decided that I didn't need to sell it after all. I put a new steering damper bushing it in and wow, took most of the shimmy out. There is now just a bit, still pulls to the right i figure because the strut, maybe the control arm. David soon as I figure out how to get the struts off I will get them off and bring you them and the control arms. I will get some german ball joints if you can press them in for me. Thank you..
