    just got my alignment done after installing a 3" OME bilstien lift and 17" wheels with 285/70 tires. They told my wife who took it in that I may need to fix my rack and pinion since it's giving too much away left to right.

    Anyone here savvy enough to know what type of repair I would need to do to address this?
    Also, what type of maintenance should I be doing for it?

    I have a 2005 DBSB TRD Tacoms. Thanks!

    A bunch a cool stickers, a bada ass MetalMiller Tx Longhorns grill emblem painted Hemi Orange, JBA long tube headers with o2 sims, Diff breather mod, Red LED interior lights, Fancy head unit that plays ipod n movies, Also DIY install factory stuff like, factory cruise control, factory intermittent wipers, OME nitro struts with 886x springs and toy tec top plate, JBA high caster UCA's for better alignmnet and dey beefier too, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs in da rear with the gear, U bolt flipper, Ivan Stewart TRD rims with 33" K Bro 2's, some bad ass weather tech floor liners so I don't muck up my interior, an ATO shackle flipper for mo travel in da rear wit the gear, also super shiny Fox 2.0 shocks back there too, all sorts of steal armor for bouncing off of the rocks like demello sliders, AP front skid, trans skid, n transfer skid, demello gas tank skid, and a tough as nails ARB bumper with warn 8k winch, I'm sure there's more
    If the tech was talking about how much adjustment had to be done to get the toe in spec, you're fine. There is plenty of thread left on the contact between the ITR's and OTR's that you don't need to do anything. Only maintenance I normally do on PS is bleed n flush it every so often. I think 50k miles is a good number.
