    Hey there Tacoma peeps!!! I'm new here and don't know my way around much burns anyway... I have jus replaces the rack and pinion on my 02 Tacoma and now it makes a crazy weird noise when I'm turning sharp. I'm pretty sure it is rubbing on the inside of the wheel well, but the problem is it WAS NOT doing this before . Is there any way replacing the rack could somehow make it start to rub? PLEASE HELP!!! Thank You ✌✌

    Need more info.

    Where is it rubbing? Is it on the frame or the pinch weld or maybe the front of the wheel/bumper area? Is it happening on both sides? Do you have a lift?

    Do you have the spec sheet that show the alignment numbers?

    Do you have a lift on it? How much higher stock are you?

    With that much caster, it looks like you have some aftermarket upper control arm. What brand are they?

    Overall, the alignment looks good. Although, all they did was set the toe. But is was way out, probably a result of where the outer tierods ended up after the rack install.

    What size tire are you running?
