[urq] ball joints for 85 urq

[Ed Kellock]

Thanks!  I needed that.  

Following on from Nathan's email I looked them up at Sunset Audi's online
parts search and it shows that the same part works for 87 CGT and 88-90
80/90Q.

So I went back to Autohaus AZ and looked up both those cars and both list
ball joints whereas they didn't for the urq.  The one for the CGT has an A
suffix, the 80/90q is an F suffix.  ETKA shows and E suffix.  

Will either or both the A & F work for the urq?  I have a passenger side A
suffix that a friend gave me which was to be for his 85 4000q.  The control
arm he gave me has the same p/n as the etka listing for the urq.  Is the
ball joint the same?

Thanks in advance for helping me out with this!

Ed

DO NOT BUY THE TRW CLOSE OUT PART FROM ROCKAUTO

They have part boxes that have left and right part numbers on them. But the
boxes contain only 1-side.

I have qty:10 of them and spent days having their guys sift through their
inventory and open up boxes.  Right box, wrong part.

I have ordered the off-brand balljoint and it should arrive in the next
couple days. Will let you know what I think of it when it arrives.

Otherwise - 034EFI has them.
