I just got done installing new front radius rod bushings on my 96A3. They are the non sleeved variety. MCI has a tool you're supposed to use to install the bushings but I figured out an easy way that requires no special tools and thought I'd pass it along. Get a bottle of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and slather some on the OD of the bushing and the hole it seats into. Pound the bushing into place with a soft mallet. It works like a charm and the alcohol wont damage the rubber bushing. The alcohol will help you slide the rods onto the posts too.
