Steering rack failure at 43k miles

OP, mine got low and my steering looks the same. I topped it off and honestly have not lost any since. So far so good.

 

Yeah the diff isn’t in the way on second gens. I can’t imagine it is on third gens either.

You hush

 

What is a zero point calibration? And how do you do it? I have never heard of it.. Thanks,

 

Not sure if it can be mixed though. From what I found in owners manual it's ATF dexron II or III to be used.

 

It's already noted from previous at the dealer and corporate. It's a no go

 

What's zero point alignment? Is it something an alignment shop would do with it?

I get alignments done at a shop that knows lifted trucks.

No I don't go full lock often.

 

I've heard the same from others that it doesn't need to be removed. Just know Toyota service manual says need to remove.
Not saying it can't be done without removal

 

It just needs to be compatible. II and III were replaced by VI in 2005. VI is fully backwards compatible.

 

For ATF?

But is the power steering fluid in Lucas cross compatible

 

Yes, that's what Dexron is. Many marquees use it as PS fluid.

Dont know about Lucas stuff, but product bottles normally say what they are compatible with.

 

They're supposed to, after an alignment.
When you go full lock, how long do you hang out there?

 

If I hit full lock I back off as soon as I do

 

How much offset on your wheels?

 

0mm

 

Where are you located in Canada?

 

Toronto area

 

What’s your favorite sandwich?

 

Long travel have nothing to do with it?
