certainly no simularities whatsoever in the geometry, but
i believe 4 of the bushings used in the rear 44Q suspension are similar
to bushings used in the 4kq suspension.  these are part no 443 505 171F
and are used for the toe adjustment bracket and the trap arm where it
connects to the rear wheel bearing housing.  can anyone confirm that
these are 4kq and/or tqc parts?  are they the ones which are available
as sport bushings?
