[urq] Early urq control arm bushings - 811 407 181 vs 811 407 181A vs 8a0 407 181

[Ado Sigal]

Not sure if steel shell ones fit early urq arms, but rubber ones can be 
used on late arms. I've had a set in while waiting for poly bushes. In 
fact some Audi 80 models came with that combination, so fitting the 
other way around seems rather likely.
