85 928 BALL JOINT & TIE ROD END EXPENSIVE!!!
I have a 1985 928S US spec.
I realized I need a new front ball joint and inner tie rod.
These are reasanably prices for 86.5-95, but expensive for 78-85.
Can you use the 86.5-95 on an 85???
Any advise?

Quick answer is no on both counts.
I sell the ball joint for $135, eccentrics (you need two) for $33.99 each.
Complete tie rods are $48 each.
That is not expensive in 928 land by any means.

Ryan,
You've been around since December of 2016 and haven't figured out who to contact about parts for our cars yet???
Nothing personal but, WTF?
All the Best,
