Ok, Ok!!!  I get the message!  Don't try to fix the inner ball joints, just 
replace them!!!

I'll have a new pair to install this weekend.  Not having done this before, 
can anybody provide any tips?  And I know I will probably need to get an 
alignment done, but I do have two questions:

1.  Is there a trick to "centering" the wheels after I reassembly the tie rod 
assemblies?  Maybe you measure the distance from the end of the rack to the 
wheels, and make sure it is equal, or something similar?

2.  And is there a way to get close to the appropriate "toe in" since that's 
the only alignment that can be corrected on the TR7?
