Steven, I bought some ball joint boots that were listed for the Type 43 
cars, 1980-83 5000 for us North Americans, and I think Brady used them on 
his car, after removing them from my parts store... This happened last year, 
he was supposed to replenish my stock, I don't remember the end of this 
story...

Brady ?

Since I am away from home, I can't help you more,but I'll ask Brady to 
confirm they fit on an urQ, then one of us will find the correct part number 
on ETKA.

IIRC, price was 28$CDN, not cheap, but definitely less than an urQ BJ.
