[urq] The M600 is it? : Ball joint boots : type43 parts may fit

[steven j]

Looks like the M600 might be it.  I have an 84 style
ball joint  18mm and 43mm seem to be it.

The boot on my 84 joint (9 months old ,  bought from
dealer out of fear of NLA was $180?)   has #'s 032
0002 013 009 GERMANY if that means anything to anyone.

Should I be buying 84 joints out of fear?  Someone
selling them new for 1/2 audi price?  It has TRW
stamped on the bottom.
