I had the Blau "improved" arms (both sides) fail within one year on my
'93, and that's with VERY low miles.  IMHO they are garbage.  The rubber
on their tie rod ends has already started cracking and will probably
fail soon, too.  They seem to have jumped on the cheap Chinese bandwagon
(remember a German name does not always mean made in Germany), and I
refuse to give them any more of my money.  I put the TRWs on the '92
recently, and the quality difference is quite evident.
