Toyota 4Runner Steering Rack Bushings

1997 Toyota 4Runner , installing new urethane bushings

[@eticket70]

Fantastic video and DIY warning...this is a tough project. My wife’s 1998 4Runner needs this, especially after 200k miles...but it looks like I need to let my local mechanic handle it.

would be nice to show how you took them out

[@thepitpatrol]

Just did this and it was really much easier than I thought it would be.

[@PLEASE111111113]

Thanks! I can no longer ignore my worn bushings and must tackle this project soon, good to know.

[@tron944]

why were they replaced in the first place? what was the symptoms?

[@richardjohnson9275]

If I have the whole rack and pinion unit out, that should make it easier to replace the bushings. Correct?

[@pdr6900]

Do you have the brand and part #'s for these bushings?

[@smokestack9795]

Are those TRW lower ball joints?

[@dannyagm1974]

Thanks for the warning. Why you didn't show how you did it?

[@ToyotaMaintenance]

no time to film

[@smokestack9795]

I did this on my 2004 Tundra, it’s a Northeast vehicle, it’s a nightmare to do without the proper tools.

[@TM15R]

To remove or install bushings, use threaded rod and pipe or deep sockets. Not easy, but no special tools needed.
