    Larger tires and failed steering racks is not uncommon on these trucks. Marlin Crawler is making the Mar-rack that's supposed to be beefy as hell to handle larger heavier tires. I believe it's for 2nd/3rd gens

    Have you replaced the needle bearing in your front left housing with the ECGS Bushing?

    Yep, long long ago. I’ve figured out the problem though. It is 100% the steering rack. Specifically the bushing holding in to the truck

    Tundra rack can fit if you're capable and persistent.

    Yeah, it is not something I would want to do either. Genuinely interested in the outcome, will be following.

    I’ll update. Likely it won’t be interesting and will just be a swap to a new taco rack
