The only specialty tool I had to buy was a 36mm wrench. I got lucky and found a cheap one for like 5 bucks. The tie rod ends were torqued pretty tight I had to slip my trusty floor jack handle over the wrench to get enough umph to lossen them up. Im not sure if just any auto parts stores stock moog parts I ordered mine from summit.

Did mine this weekend, got the alignment VERY close. I will have it professionally aligned Monday so the new tires do not take a beating. Boy, I never realized how bad the steering was on the highway until now. I ended up using stock inners, the MOOGS I ordered were the wrong ones and I did not have the time to wait. Oh well, I should get another 50K out of these.
