what is the bolt i’d need to replace

Started having a hard time turning right. looked to see if i could find what was the problem and it looks like i broke the biggest bolt on the steering rack. please help

 

You can just tap that out forward......thats just the retaining nut and threaded end thats sheered off...

 

...

 

If you're in a hurry and can't source the Toyota part locally, a 5/8x8" grade 8 bolt can be found pretty easily and fits perfectly.


You should replace those bushings though, too.

 

Yeah the bushing(s) are shot.....thats why it backed out in the first place
all that banging around sheared that right off....


IF you still have the oil leak.....it will just get into the new bushings and eat them up too.....thats what started all this

 

Might be a good time to check your lower control arm bushing too. They might be in the same condition
