Re: ur-q Tie Rods

["Mike Hopton" <mike@genesis-microchip.on.ca>]

     FWIW, I tracked down front and rear tie rods for an ur-q at Penninsula 
     Import autos (Oakville, Ontario). Prior to this (and up until I had 
     them in my sweaty hands) I had been led to believe they were dealer 
     only. The dealer wanted $380 dollars each plus tax (15%), Penninsula 
     $198 plus tax. This is a very good price! I'm talking Canadian dollars 
     here. They also had the ball joints (early type) including the clamps 
     and bolts for $89 Canadian...

     p.s. I have no affiliation with Penninsula Import. But do consider  
     myself one of the few (sad) people of this planet who thinks paying 
     $200 bucks each for tie rods is a bargain!
