Hi'
Just looking for some advice again !
Had CVRT test today (it's similar to UK's MOT) My Cruiser failed on two steering rack bushings which are worn, thought they'd be available off the shelf in Toyota main dealers, but was in for a shock. The main dealers says that only the 'D' shaped bush for the left side is available, that all other bushings on the steering rack come as part of the rack and that I'd have to get a new steering rack which comes complete with the bushings at a cost of €1,200 (Euro) !!
I checked on E Bay and various dealers are selling '' Power Steering Rack Bush Kits'' which are applicable to my model @ £45.00 approx. postage included.
The photo shows one bush 'D' shaped + two bushings round with flanges at one end and one with a flange on both ends - a total of 4 , another dealer shows the same bushings with 2 steel pipe inserts + wide steel washer
Just wondering should I order a set or are the failed ones totally different - just how many bushings does the steering rack have ? Apologies for my
''non mechanical'' descriptions and questions !
Thanks.
