What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Oh yes it is... you just don't have a lot of experience adulting yet.

 

Nothing should come out if you move the boots covering your inner tie rods. Those boots are there to keep contaminants out (water, dust etc).

If oil comes out of those boots, you've got big problems.

 

You keep posting the picture of the frame on that shit box like it means something. That like saying hey check out my new pants girl as you take them off and have skid marks in your underwear

 

Looks better than most on here

 

That confirms I need a new rack then, there's a small amount of oil coming from the driver's side. Thanks.

Is now a good time to start an oem vs aftermarket debate? Considering the napa reman, already have their reman CVs.

 

My frame still looks like new and I don't have $2k in back fees and bedsides flapping in the wind.

 

Lmfao

Lets do this!

 

You’re talking steering rack still right?


Most will say oem

I know Atleast one will say autozone cause “lifetime warranty”.

 

Cause changing steering racks is a fun use of one's free time

 

I think that vatozone mentality only logically applies to CV axles lol. Steering racks aren't so easy to swap out on a whim

 

Hey, don’t be giving me sass.

 

My thinking

 

I'd never give you sass haha, well at least not here

 

ok

 

Sooo this showed up today

@BartMaster1234 - this is what you get from coreswest when ordering the yukon gears. Master kit was included at no additional cost.

 

Anyone try the low range steering rack kit? Tie rods and bushings make the $500 bullet a little easier to swallow. Guessing it falls under the standard opinions on rebuilt parts though

 

At least it get's easier by the third one...


AMHIK


Buy an OEM rack.

 

OEM all the way

triggered....

 

Here's an alternative if you're strapped for cash.

I suggest checking the bearings in that install kit. I bought from them and found one of the pinion bearings to be a Timken instead of a Koyo. I was under the gun and still sent it all out to be installed
