Steering rack clamp bushing movement?

replacing metal (fenders) with rubber now are we?

 

fenders?

 

I mean when you cut them half to hell.... You replace the void with rubber

 

Cutting sounds like a lot of work. Just remove them.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

 

I replaced a 1st gen taco rack few months back. OEM rack, bushings, etc. Rack would move side to side in that bushing OP has pictured. Triple checked everything was installed properly and torqued to spec. Loosened everything and torqued again same problem. Test drives just fine. I recommended poly bushings at that point.

This isn't the first thread I've seen on this. If be very interested to know why this happens.

Have someone turn the wheel while you stay under the truck watching the rack. I bet it's moving.

 

Fenders?! Where we're going we dont need fenders. @Kwikvette

 

Can't fit 44s if you're running fenders

Getting rid of that bed too amirite

 

Someone comes to mind here... His name is @POSTacoMike !

but anyway why even have a hood at that point... too much weight

 

Were you around to see if the poly fixed it?

 

No, don't think they replaced with poly. I'd bet poly bushings help quite a bit.
