Vehical Inspection report

[R@nger]

Well today I took my truck to get safety and emissions testing done on it for the first time since I've had it.

Everything in the safety inspection passed except for the steering and suspension category. He said things wrong with it was: Idler arm, left outer tie rod, right upper control arm bushings. My question is, how much you think all of thats gonna cost me? Also since I've never had to change any of these before how hard is it? I'd also appreciate any tips that might help when working on this stuff.

Emissions went susprisingly better than I expected. The guy was impressed it did as well as it did...it still failed however. It did really good on the High speed test but on the Idle test it failed. For those of you who know how to read these things I'll post why it failed:
Standard, 700HC(ppm)
Reading, 1146
Deviation, -446

So I question there is how can I get this puppy to pass? The guy that did the testing said to call back monday and talk to the mechanic that fixes the failed cars there and talk to him about how I can get it to pass. The guy that did the inspection thinks that I might be able to simply retard the timing or possibly even adjust the idle to get it to pass...any thoughts?

Needless to say it was a great birthday present ...as today also happens to be my birthday .
