    I need to replace my steering rack bushings in my '97 Tacoma 4WD. I've saw that Energy Suspension had some in their past and was looking for those. Now, I only see them for the 2001-2004 Tacomas. The racks are different between the two? I thought they were the same.

    IIRC, the difference is the size of one of the inner sleeves, not the bushings themselves.

    Thanks, for some reason I didn't see them before on their website.

    That's correct, part number below. I also get the black ones because according to them, "A select few of our black polyurethane components contain graphite to add a lubrication property. Graphite is not added to the red formulation because black graphite discolors the red polyurethane."
