I've replaced the ball joints, control arm bushings, balanced front wheels.
Still occurs.
Since I was going to put in the RCA's and the outer tie rods were
still factory with somewhat crusty boots, I decided to search for a rebuilt steering rack.
Does anyone know if these rack rebuilding places can make it a quicker ratio? I'd be interested in getting a quick ratio steering rack for the track. I think it would help a lot, especially with the large steering wheel.
I doubt it its a huge change. They need to change the actual driving pinion and rack slide. It could be accomplished with custom parts, but would cost a fortune. It would be far easier and cheaper to find a rack with the ratio you want and swap it in.
BTW if you are really handy you can rebuild the rack yourself. The gasket kit is like $40-50 IIRC from Toyota. Inside rod ends aren't that much more IIRC. I tried doing this on a spare leaky rack I had. I ended up getting stuck trying to remove the stopper nuts on the end of the housing (like THE last step) they were absolutely fricken tight. You need some sort of special tool in this case. This the only SST I would've needed, the others in the manual can be substitued.

You should try to get them from Australia.
Probably cheaper shipping.
I got a rebuilt unit for mine some years ago for $Aus400
I'll have to try to find the receipt.
I think someone else got a rebuilt rack more recently here in Aus.
Was it Norbie?
