I just replaced my upper control arm bushings. The stock ones were welded in, do I have to weld the replacements in too?

No. There is no welding as part of this process. I am sure someone welded that in because they either didn't know what they were doing or trying to prevent it from coming out.

I attached the process for this for your review. Plus here is a guide that goes through this as well:
