[urq] Balljoints for an 83

[Ben Swann]

Is there any merit to retaining the older style, or just as well swith to
the kind found on the 4000 quattros which I have plenty of?  Or is the later
Q different still.

Darn!!!!!!!!!!

can you say darn on the list ;-)

I bought a set of  857 505 365 ball joints a while back from Rod and Martin
just made me realize I have the newer setup (for the 83) suspension on my
car.  The 857 505 365 will not fit.  I can get the ones from rareparts.  Now
I got to get rid of  a brand new set of 857 505 365 ball joints.  Thanks
goodness for ebay.

Ok, so the VIN numbers don't mean much in 83.

Cheers
