So, my son dropped his 97 f350 CCLB into a 4 foot deep hole that washed out in the road due to heavy rain last nite. I have included a short video clip so that I can find out if it's just the tie rod end that attaches to the pitman arm that needs fixin, or are there bigger issues? Also, not quite sure what the part that my hand is on is called - steering rod? steering link? Is it bent (more than usual)? Not sure.
Axle is D60. Thanks.

Yep, it was bent. Found cheap-o-autozone replacement for $34. Got that and the replacement tie-rod end. $50 and back on the road! I'll eventually replace that made in China stuff with something more substantial, but it will do for now. Thanks!
