Evidently all ball joint and tie rod tools are "one size fits all" sorry for the annoyance.

but pricing is all over the place. The lever like one for the inner ball joint I found for as low as $12 and as high as $85! You can use pickle forks if you're going to replace the ball joins and tie rod ends, otherwise they trash the boots.

And to be fair, k-huevo had sent me a photo of what to look for. It's in his gallery with all the suspension parts. The two tools are in the photo.

Well, I took my baby in to the dealership today to have mine checked out. We'll see what they find!
