Only 'cheap' thing I used was the non-OEM cheaper turbo tie rod assemblies;

towed car to shop yesterday, they just called- boots are split already AND they cannot be adjusted!! (the rod part will not rotate......like the ball socket end at the rack is non-moveable).....

False economy - I will probably end up buying $189 OEM assemblies AND paying twice for the allgnment job!
