    Hi there, I have some play in the steering I’ve already replaced both inner and outer tie rods, steering rack bushing, ball joints and sash bar bushings so the front end is basically brand new. But I have some play that is traditionally associated with the steering rack guide but I believe my 02 Tacoma 4x4 has the updated guide as it already has the new end cap I’ll include a picture. Does the new end cap mean I have the update guide bearing or could I have the old roller type still?
