As part of my first front suspension rebuild, I'm going to install a set of turbo tie rods. Never have rebuilt a Porsche suspension system, so while doing a search on some parts, I ran across some youtube videos that I thought were pretty informative. I viewed one showing ball joint replacement and another one from the same guy on tie rods. He also has another video on replacing front struts.
Even though he's working on an '82 911, the parts are basically the same. It appears that this was the first time he performed these tasks, so he did run into some issues that he was unsure about. But in the end, everything turned out fine. If I were to make a video of the same processes, I'm sure it would probably be similar, so it was nice to see how he dealt with those issues before I started in on the project. If you've never done these tasks, check out the videos. I really enjoyed the 'back-yard mechanic' approach to it.
