    Both Catalytic converter bad maybe - need help to figure out?

    Folks, I've been getting the P0420 and P0430 "Catalytic System efficiency below threshold" codes for both banks. I've reset it a few times but it comes back after 50-60 miles. I've changed all 4 O2 sensors (my 100 has around 168k miles so thought it would be a good idea in any case). I've also...

    2003 LX Steering Rack - same as LC?
