Just did inners and outers....the tie rod tool is great but not a must, I used a pipe wrench...
Surprisingly the inners were worse off than the outers

How did you torque the inner arm to spec?

Nice! Ya, I heard Mercedes Master Techs who work on cars professionally also torque by feel. Because you know a small wrench and a big wrench will torque the same.

To each their own. I still say buy the tool or rent the tool from local auto store and torque it down properly. There is no such thing as feel especially with different size wrenches, socket wrenches and sockets. Torque wrenches measure output not input. By hand is input and you can never measure that. Basic physics.
