[urq] Strut tower bearings for early UrQ

[Grant Lenahan]

All I know is that the 4k bearings suck - they die every 40-50k and the 
URQ ones live.

Now, your price seems outrageous. I think I bought 4k/90 bearings for 
about $14 from GPR, half-dozen years ago.

But you DONT want to do he job 3 times.

Have you called the usual suspects? GPR, Blau, etc.?
