[urq] urq Drivers side tie rod

[audiqtrocp at aol.com]

After a couple positive visuals that there are 'two-bends' I have decided that Im leaving it alone.  He'll just have to align it as it sits or I'll just take it somewhere else.  Too bad because he came highly recommended.


The car goes down the road straight, I know it's not 100% but that's all the time I got.  Other things to take care of for the event this weekend.


Thanks guys
sean
