[urq] Thanks for letting me know Tie Rods are upside down

[steven j]

Thank you Martin and others.   The car is in storage now but I will correct this ASAP.    BTW - when I first got the car it spend 1 month at one top Quattro shop and another month at a second top Quattro shop and nobody noticed this.

same on deal other side. H&R's are getting the blame.
I must have 19 gallons in the car and there is about
.75" of clearance not including the .25 inch gouge in
the body.

I got some stock urq springs from a CA guy who posts
here from time to time but I showed them to MARTIN and
the canadians at UPG but they thought the color
markings weren't right (blue and white I believe). 
I've wanted to go stock springs, but am not sure if I
already have them. I think ETKA shows yellow
markings for the front springs. Rears springs I think
are the same ones from a 4kq.
