When I did this job on my '85 Ur-Q last month, the rear ones in my car were
blue, just like the fronts ... is it possible that the previous owner
replaced them before you bought the car?

Under heavy-duty use, I was never able to get the 4kq bearings to last more
than 10-20,000 miles ... in fact, I still have four spares left from when I
was autocrossing my '81 4000!  Linda @ Carlson sells the blues for $76 per
... best price I could find.
