Ball Joints: Moog K9855
Outer Tie Rods: Moog ES3044RL
Inner Tie Rods: Moog EV800540
Boots: QuickSteer K9358
Some issues with INNER Moog tie rods: (1) inners have a smaller flat section to get the tie rod puller on, which doesn't let the tool on if the plate is bent in place already, so you have to bend it once on, (2) it's impossible to bend one side of the small anti-rotation back plate over the inners since it's tucked up above;
OUTER Moog tie rods: cotter pin location is 1/8 to 1/4" too high to use their castle nuts so you have to re-use the stock ones;
Moog ball joints: the damn C-clips don't have me too confident that they're firmly clipped since they bend when you install them. Cross your fingers. :culpability:
Finally, the boots are too small but will stretch over if you roll them on like a condom (OE on right).

Well I can add turbo compressor wheel to the list of stuff I never want to polish again LOL. My new oil cap, need to get a button head screw for a lower profile.

April, I'd look for a button head that has the same diameter as the center of the compressor wheel. Will probably give you the best finished look.
No way it would work, it would be like a m8 bolt. I'll probably go sans washer on the button head. The lower part is threaded.Quote:

Great idea... in fact it also most done, but I had to stop and superglue my thumb cut. Guess what, turbo blades are super sharp LOL. I don't have a drill press obviously.Quote:

Great job, probably would have been worth it to just have it chromed. What size wheel is it?
