[Vwdiesel] minor tragedies--A4 suspension work

[Tony and Lillie]

I've done this on all the rear ball joints and tie rods on the 4000Q, after 
seeing the prices for the rear tie rods. Did that several years ago, and 
they are still tight. I grease them probably four times a year. The reason I 
added grease zirks was not because the joints were worn, but the boots were 
shot. Go figure on a 25 year old car ;-)
