Today we were able to finally get all the bolts removed that we needed to continue on the passenger side. After removing the axle and cutting the old, ripped CV boot off we began to remove all of the axle grease. Unfortunately the clip that holds the end of the axle on (near the hub) that we are unable to reach with our tools. This means that the boots will need to be installed by a professional shop after the weekend. Hopefully once this is done we can continue progress of rebuilding the passenger side suspension (tie rods, sway bar end links, control arms, etc.) Overall the cost of the rebuild will not be that high, and NAPA carriers re-manufactured axles for $50, a steal!

Old and new tie rod ends. They were completely worn on the drivers side as well and most likely contributed to the bad pull we had when braking.

By the end of next week the new brake lines and brake discs from FCP Euro should arrive and allow us to button up the entire front end. After this our plan is to drop the exhaust and take a look at the mysterious oil around the turbo. With any luck it will be a leaky gasket, however worst case we rebuilt the turbo with Steve's plan of a 20 blade turbine.
