To avoid being told I am making things up...

BTW, cars had the identical suspension/wheel mounting (Russian Lada, my
model 2101, his 2107). Both had original parts, bar mine that had
steereng
rods (not bearings) changed in 1982...

"Consistency" was with my car. I had original ball-bearings and bought
RUSSIAN steering-rods. The guy had bought ITALIAN-MADE ball-bearings when
he
replaced his suspension (i.e. steering rods). Also, I have seen other Lada
with a broken steering rod. It was also MADE IN ITALY, guy bougt it since
it
was cheap. My cousin almost died in his old Fiat (actually, "Zastava" from
Jragujevac, Yugoslavia)when he bought CROATIAN-made steering-end suspensor
rod. I had to get one-via many channels- from YUGOSLAVIA, Kragujevac from
the assembly line for police-cars (they are strenghened, jut a coincidence


Suspicious, right? ))))

It should say:

"Consistency" was with my car. I had original ball-bearings and bought
RUSSIAN steering-rods. The OTHER guy had bought ITALIAN-MADE
ball-bearings...

I've seen three cases: one with original/Russian, two with Italian parts...

Sorry, fast typing on a small laptop!
