99 mounty AWD with a rusted vent line connecting the inner tie rod boots above rack. Rusted through and disconnected on one end. Tried looking up a replacement line without luck. Any ideas on how to get at this without pulling the whole rack and where to get a replacement?

Thanks

Doesn’t look like the right part. Mine is a vent line with no screw in attachments. Both ends are push in types to the rubber inner tie rod boots. Below is the drivers side inner boot attachment point. Tight spot and hard to get in to.

Its just a tube. Buy a brake line tube. Bend to suit.
