    Fresh rebuild. That has to be a joke. I wouldn't trust that engine at all in it's present state.

    Care for a nice cup of, well, nastiness?

    As JDUB said. Unfortunately, you can't see the inside of the calipers. That fluid doesn't look too bad. As others have said, I have seen much worse.

    new tie rods or no?

    Grim, bear with me. On fords there was an actual measurement for what you are talking about. It is called articulation effort and is measured with a pull scale. Now with Toyota, there is no mention of this in the service manual that I can find. The only thing mentioned was, when checking, no...
