Re: ur-q tie rods

Todd,

>         So why will you put 5kt tie rod ends on the ur-q.  Price?

Price and future replacements.  I plan to keep that one for a long time.

I got the used Ur-q tie rod for free for the Coupe so it was not a biggie there (and the inner
end was perfect).
I figured if you knew of someone with a Ur-q who has replaced them and want to get rid of the
used part cheap or for free it would be a nice alternative.  Especially for people about to do 5
bolt conversions.
My Ur-q already has the tie rod so I can modify the outer end there.
It does need it and I don't feel like spending my sumer job income on replacing them.

BTW how much are the inner bushings for the 4kq?
Is it worth replacing the entire unit if they and outer end are shot?

TIA
