John-

If you want the info for the sedan, not the wagon, then The Parts Connection
has the rears (which are a gas/oil hybrid) for $99 each. Original part # for
rear was 443.513.031L, which has been superceded by 4A9.513.031L.

The fronts, which were 443.413.031F have been superceded by 4A0.413.031J,
and TPC has these for $69.00.

Check out their web site at

(it loads quickly, since they kept the graphics simple).

No afilliiation, etc, just a happy customer. YMMV, yada yada.  -doug q
