Yesterday I finished my second ball joint which amazingly enough took me less than 90 minutes - compared to last week's experiment that took me 8 hours.
Next I want to replace the caster blocks (one of them was almost disintegrated) and the tie rod ends.
Any ideas as to the best source for purchase?

A bit of a hijack here but I have a quick related question. I am about to install 17" 996 twists on my 944 & have been told I should fit 968 caster blocks. Are these any easier/harder to install than the standard ones??
Thanks

What are the advantages, for that price it would have been worth it when I rebuilt the ball joints even though mine were in pretty good condition. I thought they were like 400 bucks a peice so I didn't even bother looking.

I'm going to buy the complete tie rod assemblies from Vertex, they're a little cheaper. But for just the ends paragon is good.
