For 3rd Gen Tacoma owners, especially those running oversized tires or high-offset wheels, the steering rack undergoes immense stress. Over time, internal seals can fail or the rack-and-pinion gears can develop play, leading to a vague steering feel that can be dangerous both on the highway and on technical trails.

The Toyota Genuine Steering Rack Assembly is a brand-new, factory-original unit. Unlike remanufactured racks that often use generic seals and recycled housings, this is a component engineered by Toyota to handle the exact torque and pressure requirements of your Tacoma’s hydraulic system. Replacing your rack with a genuine OEM unit ensures that your steering remains predictable, responsive, and quiet for years to reach.

• Corrosion-Resistant Housing: Built to withstand harsh environments, from humid coastal air to the heavy road salt used in winter climates across North America.
• Complete Inner Assembly: Comes pre-assembled with Inner Tie Rods and high-quality dust boots already installed, reducing the number of individual parts you need to source.
• Perfect Hydraulic Integration: Designed for a seamless fit with your existing factory power steering lines and mounting points.

Pro Tip: When replacing your steering rack, it is the absolute best time to upgrade your Steering Rack Bushings. The factory rubber bushings are often soft; swapping them for a high-quality set while the rack is out of the truck will significantly sharpen your steering response and prevent the rack from sliding under heavy loads.
