Pit stop in Torrance, need P shop
Miami, Atlanta, Cherohala, Chicago, Minneapolis, Black Hills, Beartooth, Yosemite, SF, PCH, ....one amazing ride with my son, but a pit stop in LA visiting another son only to discover that the front tires are bald on the inside
Need advice on a P shop, might be time for turbo rod ends. Sorry but can't post pics from phone, too large. Thanks Draco, any tips????

You need an alignment...
Best Porsche alignment shop around is Johnson Alignment in Torrance. Steve Alarcon runs it and he is "The Man" as far as alignments. He may not have a turbo tie rod in stock but if you get one he will install it as part of the alignment. (I had mine done that way.) I would call and see if he has one or can get you one. Two doors down in the same building is Callas Rennsport, one of the best Porsche shops anywhere, period. (Tony Callas prepared and crew chiefed a Le Mans winning 911 a few years ago.) I would bet they have the tie rod.
