    I ended up ordering new inner tie rods and a set of new boots from superformance.co.uk. They're now installed, it was an easy and straight forward job. The hardest part was measuring, to get the exact lenght to be able to install it like it was before. Anyway I will get a wheel alignment done.

    Old parts out:

    New parts installed. the large clamps were tightened and the small clamps installed, after the photos were taken:

    The brakes are also back in place and the fluid also flushed and replaced. Ended up looking nice too.

    Finally the car is now back down from the lift again, and I've mounted my 3-piece Cargraphic 19" wheels. It's the first time I see them on the car and I'm very happy with the result, I think they work well with the Argento car. Another bonus with these is that they are around 1kg lighter each, than the 19" 5-spoke original wheels. What do you think?
