Rear tie rod on UrQ

[AudiQtroCp@aol.com]

     Well I was doing some pre-event inspecting of the UrQ last weekend.  I
have been noticing a little looseness or rattling in the rear, come to find
out I have a tie rod end that has excessive play (right rear, although
interchangable).   No one in my area seems to have one,  and the dealer that
quoted me a price nearly knocked me out of my chair.  My payment on the car
is less.  I used to deal with IPC alot but this car has been reliable enough
(knock on wood) that I haven't had to call them for a while.  Are they still
in business?  the 800# just rings and rings, and the regular # shows
disconnected.  Any other discount outfits that I may try?  Anyone have a good
one lying around that is taking up too much space in the garage?   There is
two versions of this part,  the early one which is fitted to the cars with a
lower VIN than 900582, the newer part will interchange with the 4KQs'.  Guess
my luck,  yep I need the earlier one by a few digits.  This is the one that
was also unavailable for a while too.
    Well thanks to anyone who can help,  I sure want to see the Red Rig go
anround Blackhawk in a few weeks.

Auf wiedersehein, 
Sean.
