It is for turbo tie rod installation. Are you needing a ball joint nut tool?

It is for turbo tie rod installation. Are you needing a ball joint nut tool? Thanks, but what is the cast nut style end for? Yes, I'm looking for a ball joint nut tool, since I want to use a torque wrench. Did find out that a 2-1/4 Dodge tool should do the job. What's your take? Also, any recommendations about the strut nut? |

It's for removing the stock tie rods, then reinstalling the turbo tie rods.

Yes I found the Dodge spindle nut tool. It is a littl too big so I lined it with magnetic tape to keep it centered. I use it with an impact to remove the ball joint nuts. some are rusted on so tight I have to cut them off.

They may have changed the design. I got mine at O'Reilly for about $12. This like shows a more simple one that does not center on the part.
