Lexus 2003 LX470 steering rack discountinued?

[sacman]

My steering rack is leaking and i'm trying to find a replacement for it. Lexuspart.com and toyota Serra say 44200-60120 would fit my car but it's discontinued for my VIN: JTJHT00W433535279. Did anyone run into this issue and is there a compatible solution? Thanks.

Incorrect part number. That is for the entire assembly with the tie rod ends.

You need to purchase just the rack assembly: 44250-60120

And then the rod ends separately along with the jamb nuts: 90170-20003 x2, 45046-69205, 45047-69115

You’d need to ask Serra Toyota. I did my part by providing you the correct numbers.

Toyota dealership do not carry VGRS R&P w/inner TRE, which are in all 03-07 LX. 44250-60120. VRGS, is a Lexus only product.
Toyota's, do have the standard R&P W/inner TRE which are in 03-07 LC. 44250-60100. Can be used in LX in place of VGRS R&P, as cheaper alternative.

03-07 LX & LC outer TRE are all the same. But note; There's a LH and a RH side difference. I remove & replace (R&R) outer TRE, with most every R&P R&R.

Note also: Do not tell Toyota parts department. Part is for (VIN#) a Lexus. It will void the warranty.
