Had rack installed by a professional mechanic shop and seals leaked on the way back home. Returned and was issued a partial refund due to unit being installed. Would not recommend at all. Besides only being issued a partial refund, I had to pay the mechanic shop twice to get the new one installed.

It looking great, but it was spray paint over some rusty tie rod end attaching threaded rod. Complete b*tch to get the tie rod ends on... it was a workout. Also, the power steering in hose connector was corroded. Made me feel like someone had cross-threaded the fitting at one time or another. But no, it was just crusty. Seems like this part sat outside in the weather for a while before having it's lipstick applied. Have to say, once in, it does not leak nor make any odd noises. The steering is also smooth.

Hi, as a retired mechanic I don’t really like doing my own work. But sometimes yo just have too. LOL…. The took me 5 hours to install including BS time and a hot dog. The hardest parts were one stubborn bolt that took a 6 foot breaker bar and getting to the lower rubber return line to replace it. The Truck is a 1997 Tacoma 4x4 with a 3.2. The difficult bolt was the one facing down from the rack. The others all came out with an impact. The rubber line is NOT 3/8 inch hose. It’s slightly bigger. Probably metric. 3/8 will go on but it’s super tight. Make sure to remove the sway bar before trying to get the rack out. The metal line by the U clamp needs to be loosened to get the U clamp in or out. Replace all the rubber bushings, under the U clamp and all the sway bar bushings. It’ll save you headaches later. I measured the tires from the front from tire to tire to try and get the alignment close. Try to get the tie rod ends back to that measurement when your done. You’ll need to take it and get the alignment checked when everything’s done. Mine was very close. For the steering connection, remove the upper and lower bolts at the splines, spores the connections a little with a screw driver and spray a little knocker loose in there. The joint will push up. With a few taps from a brass hammer. Putting it back together is easy. Just make sure the steering wheel is straight in relation to the wheels. Refill the pump and bleed the air and your done.

bought this to replace the original which was leaking like a sieve. This works perfectly and doesn't leak! Installation wasn't bad, the difficult part was getting the old one off. Once that chore was done, this one fit no problem. One minor caveat: If you're doing this in the driveway with the truck on ramps, you'll probably need a helper. The rack and pinion assembly is not light-weight and I couldn't hold it up with just one hand long enough to get the bolts started.
