This seedms to be the eyar for them to go bad... no, mine are ok, but
Tamara's 84 4kq lost it's loud pedal this weekend.  replaced the
offending rubber piece with a used one in stock and printed the etka
page so she'd have a part number to order.  btw coupes use one of them,
4kqs's use two, and a wierd cast lump as well.

and... the part number is 431 721 559, Dover Auto quotes it at $8.70.
