Failed State Inspection
ok we failed for a few reasons
frame rot ok so one hole we found and a lot of work has been done on it they said it should not sound like an empty oil drum when tapping on it ???
brake lines rusted at connections in rear so if we need to work on it they will break
left front outer tie rod end bad..
ok so shouldn't be hard to replace the brake line to rear at some point
but what to use will look around for to do it with
frame will patch the last little hole for now but want to replace rear of frame anyway
tie rod end locally is 60.00 for one
or does this do what I need

oh yeah also tire dry rot by the tread

i have installed the items in the second link on both my trucks. very simple job. i figure that all the joints have the same mileage on them so they've all been doing about the same amount of work. if one is bad, the others aren't going to be far off. swapping both the drag link and the tie rod changes all four ends at once.
