Where did you find: Sub 44250-60120 (Old 44200-60120) R&P 03-07 LX (VGRS Black paint) for $790?

VGRS R&P is a Lexus only part.

Yes, I'd like to know this as well as I am in the market.

I just ordered mine today. I have ordered from them before when I ordered new AHC globes. They were significantly cheaper than any dealer and brand new Japanese original OEM parts.

Here is the address.

Reviving an old thread - so can someone confirm the part number 44250-60120 is the correct part number for the Lexus VGRS rack ? mine (2004) has begun leaking and I want to order one while the 25% off sale is going on !

44250-60120 is correct for VGRS R&P.
If you know of a 25% off whole-sale, on Lexus part. Please do tell?

I've yet to see Lexus do a 25% sale, usually only 10%

I was referring to this sale Genuine Toyota Parts and Accessories: Official Online Store Serra Toyota of Decatur - https://autoparts.toyotaofdecatur.com/
and i put the part number 44250-60120, and it came up. but after further inspection, it looks like the site changed the part number to: 44250-60010, which it looks like is likely the non VGRS rack. womp womp woooop

I'm planning some front end maintenance on my '99 with 350k miles. Steering rack is original. It has showed signs of leaking, but lucas oil leak stop has slowed the leaks.

What are the other signs the rack is failing? I do notice a very slight roughness when steering at high speeds. Hard to describe, but there are very faint vibrations is the best way I can put it. Could also be my CVs (they are also original).
