Hilux Steering Rack Play Problem ?

[r34nismo]

Hi Everyone,

Just registered I have a very serious problem I need help with ASAP as it is failing an MOT.

There is an amount of play in the steering of about 4 mm front and 8mm at the back, and someone has told me all hi-lux have this amount of play in the steering, can someone provide me with any technical documentation to cover this ?

I really need help on this.

:(

Just had the same problem , my Surf has failed the MOT due to worn rack mounts , so I am looking for places to get new ones , not had any luck yet but will be trying Toyota today .

Just in case you haven't worked this out yet, where exactly is the play you refer to.

Is this a beam axle truck or IFS

My problem is with the IFS , but have managed to get it through the MOT with just the one D shaped rubber mounting , the other ones are not available unless you buy a complete rack from Toyota .
