steering rack

Hi Guys and gals I don't post here much, spend most of My time in the 80 forum. I do DD a 2006 Tundra access Cab, it's a great truck and I really like it. It's been virtually trouble free during my ownership. It's a super clean low mile 125k truck. But it has leaky steering rack. it started...

I just got my 03 LX a couple weeks ago and knew when I bought it I would have to get an alignment. They had to recenter the rack because the TREs were maxed out. I assumed this was the original rack but maybe it was replaced. The PO didn't mention it and there was no record but it does have...

Need to replace my rack as it is leaking The part number is 44250-60010 or 44250-60011 depending on the year of the chassis. I need to check when mine was. The break is before and after 08/1997 and mine is a 97 I’m not seeing any oem toyota ones but some aftermarket. Has anyone had any...

My daughter and I bought a sweet '97 3rd gen from a local buddy and we are trying to get the steering rack off to get the A-Arms off to put new bushings in. It seems that the backside bolt on the lower horseshoe bracket nut broke free from inside the frame. First, I assume this nut is not...

I have a leaking boot, passenger side, on what I’m guessing is the steering rack? Is this correct? It’s accumulating on my garage floor at a decent rate each day. I just purchased a proper floor jack and stands after acquiring my ‘06 LX last year. 236,000 miles. I’m new to wrenching. I...

Hi,I have a somewhat rusty, trusty 03 LX470 with 165K miles on it. In my past 15K of ownership, I have replaced the following front suspension parts: CV axles, wheel bearings, and front lower control arms. I had a bad front suspension clunk while going over bumps on the driverside, and the...

Hey guys, Changing out my tie rods today and I saw that my actual steering rack has some play on the driver side. It was not present on the passenger side. What do you think? Is this too much play or is this normal? Only 138k. Thanks!

Hi thanks for adding me on. Recently purchased a 06 gx470 with 299k miles all stock no signs of abuse but some neglect. I have read alot of your post so greatly appreciate the knowledge here. It has some needed maintenance. Drivers side valve cover, front suspension parts bushings almost all are...

Since I got my 2001 LX470 in 2020, going around a normal turn at normal speeds (say, a normal 35 MPH road curve) would produce VSC beeping, sometimes even kicking in the ABS for an abrupt forced slowdown. The only code coming up was for steering angle sensor. We replaced and reset that thing...

I recently took my LX in for a diagnostic. I got a good deal on it because of the high mileage, the previous owners took care of the engine and timing belt but everything else needs some love. Another positive is that there is zero rust underneath. -steering rack -outer tie rodx2 -upper ball...

Posting these is becoming a fun ritual lmao. '04 LX470; took a closer look at the driver side CV axle and I can actually move it with my hand lol. Take a look at the pics and the vid. Is it safe to drive? I showed my dad the extensive damage and we'll try to get a used/refurbished CV axle (and...

Hello everyone. Im am very inept mechanically and wondering if someone can help diagnose with the help of these pictures. There is a grinding feeling when the wheel is cranked turning at low speeds, power steering fluid level is at MIN but not going any lower after continuous driving. Rack? Tie...

We have been travelling South-America for over one year and the wear and tear on the car (overweight Land Cruiser 100, 1HD-FTE 4.2 ltr diesel engine) proves it. We squeak and peep like there's no bushings left. There's enough play in the front bearings to have the wheels oscillate. We're...

Hi All, First post here, though I have been lurking for a long time. I went through the pain of replacing the steering rack on my ’99 LX, but now I have an issue. I have ZERO play in the wheel, which is awesome. However, now it is like I have manual steering… With the front wheels off the...

Well, at just over 180k my steering rack is starting to leak pretty heavily. I'm going to do the lift-engine method and replace it. Anything else I should consider checking/replacing "while I'm in there"? Plan: New OEM steering rack OEM steering rack bushing 555 Outer tie rods

Hey All, Alright, bear with me as I'm sure there have been some newbie mistakes I need calling out on. I noticed the stock PS Pump on my 60 had sprung a leak at the shaft and was slowly spraying ATF all over the engine bay and ordered a reman replacement from Rock Auto. Finally got the "new"...

So after doing the timing belt/pulleys/front axle rebuild/etc/etc myself, next up is the steering rack (oil drips, steering is questionable and I've got about 223k on the current rack). Turns out, I'm not too interested in doing that job myself (lifting the engine sounds... terrible). Does...

The steering rack on my lx is leaking slowly. Had to top up every now and then. Since I am planning to keep it for a couple of years, I decided to replace it. I did some research and of course the oem ones are the best way to go, but the Lexus dealer asked $1000 for the part. I found someone on...

03 Land Cruiser Last week my power steering started making noise, so I popped the hood and the reservoir was low. Added ATF and it was fine. Today the same thing happened. I crawled underneath the truck, and there is ATF dripping through the driver side of the skid plate. I haven't pulled the...

Looking for some real time advice from Cruise Moab. Yesterday I discovered that the end of my ds steering boot had popped off and apparently puked out some fluid. The reservoir is full, there is NO active leaking, and the steering is fine with no odd behaviors. I reset the clamp and the end...
