| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 tundra 2wd trd. I have to replace the steering rack and recommended that i replace both rear bearings. When looking the problems on the internet i have discovered that these issues are very common for the tundra in earlier production. The steering rack was manufactured with inferior material that has been known to where out. The same with the rear bearings. If this is such a common problem why hasn't a formal investigation ever been performed on these two elements of the tundra. |
