You're replacing the whole rack? Not just the bushings?
Yes. The Rack is $650. SuperPro bushings are $175 (not available OEM). Labor is slightly more for just replacing the bushings, so there's only $310 difference. I'd rather have a new steering rack on an 11 year old vehicle than SuperPro bushings. I'll only own this for another 1-3 years.

Wild that the bushings aren't available from Toyota. I wonder if it's the same story with the tundra rack.

You have the rack.in your possession yet?

I know 3-4 people that have replaced racks on Tundras (same part #) thinking they Ivan Stewart and theirs came with new bushings
 
Awesome list. Will bookmark this since I guess I should do this at least next year when I get the new tires (if(!) we get the KO3s next year in Europe) will probably do it together with fresh back covers for the brakes since mine are like ~30 gone to the god of rust. They will probably the most expensive part if I even beeing able to get them

You're saying the tundra racks come complete with bushings? Tie rods too?

Theirs did

Not sure about rod ends

I only know this because I had a set of energy suspension bushings for mine but after finding out how much work it was to install them I didn’t bother and threw them in garage

Gave them to a friend but told me he didn’t need them because his rack came with them

Will try to verify. Was about 2 years ago

This is the rack they used

For whatever photos are worth, it shows the bushings on it

 
@Boston Mangler, No, I don't have them yet. Waiting for Cyber monday to get 25% off. FWIW I talked to Larry H. Miller Toyota parts in SLC, UT today and they said yes, they are participating in the sale and that it will be 25% off their already discounted online pricing. Toyota corporate is sending out a bunch of incentives for them to do so.

The part number encompasses everything in the boxed area, including bushings and tie rod ends, but not the castle nut and pins. There's a note in the diagram that indicates the bushings are "not supplied as an individual part, because it is hard to assemble/disassemble due to the structure".
