Description of the problem | I noticed a pool of oil under my rear axle. I inspected it and saw that the welds were failing due to excessive rust. I had the frame and brake lines replaced under the recall and this is clearly related to the rust problems (i had the power steering rack replace last month due to rust) but toyota won't fix it until there is a recall. I had it repaired (the whole axel replaced) at a local garage for approx. $2,340. With the power steering rack repair that comes to ~ $3,300 in less than 2 months. The garage said they see these problems all the time on the tundras with the frame recall. |
