Tie rod ends
After a bit of searching, I've come to understand that EP3 tie rod ends fit on the EM2/ES1. Is that correct? And if so, has anyone tinkered around with installing EP3 tie rod ends on their cars? I found some EP3 pillowball tie rod ends that I'd like to try out so I don't have to worry about tearing any more boots..
I recently raised my coilovers by .25"/.64" F/R so my tires would stop eating my fenderwell lining, and raised the rear to even out it's stance. I tore the **** out of my tie rod end boots after trying every method in the spring install DIY before having to put everything back together so I could take a trip to autozone to pick up a tie rod end separator. Hell, I had to mock up a breaker bar for the tie rod end separator just to break the damn things loose, and I even bent the **** out of the tie rod end separator and had to hammer the damn thing back into shape..
