New project: wheel spacers for my 1979 Super-Beetle (correction: SB Shimmy!)
BUSDADDY:
Bushings are easy to replace if you have a small shop press and an assortment of large socket wrenches to use as press tools. Arms only need replacement if they are bent from off roading or tow truck damage.

I would not spend one red cent on any part until I have performed a complete and thorough diagnosis of the entire front end. Take the time and do your analysis and don't take the shotgun approach. Get your Bentley out - Section 8 and go to it. And don't forget the 2 universal joints and the attaching bolts in the steering shaft.
Bruce:
re & re-ing the steering damper is easy. take it off and test it.
when were the wheels balanced?

I was thinking all I needed was where to apply the duct tape.
I still think I'm pretty funny regardless of what everyone says. I agree with what you are saying mostly but if I get under there and clearly see bushings thrashed I'm gonna replace them as step one and then work my way through the process.

The wheels were balanced by the shop I got the tires at. They do have brand new little square weights behind each wheel so I'm assuming and hoping they got it right.
