| Description of the problem | Tear on the boot of the power steering rack, passenger side. I researched on the internet and found this was not uncommon for toyota sienna 2006. Some said toyota seemed to fix it in the 2007 model. Toyota may keep quiet about the problem. The boot is too close to one of the belts. Any debris (rock or ice or piece of metal) could be sling-shot by the belt and hit the rubber boot. This is a potential safety issue, the exposed steering joints could rust and break in the highway. They should put a protective plate between the boot and the belt. |
