OK guys, it's a go. Well kind of. I had a disastrous day at the stealership. Their EPC and ordering system were out so all I could get was a tie rod assembly that they had in stock. The other one I have to drive 50km to get, which I'll do in the morning. I'm also going to borrow the tie rod separator tool and get cracking with the tie rod job tomorrow. Then, I'll order rear suspension parts online, save a little bit of money that way and do THAT job in 2-3 weeks. I promise to post pics (if I can borrow a digital camera), or at least a DIY writeup of the job. Watch this space, same time, tomorrow for a (fingers crossed) successful completion.
