Well I did it. I replaced the rack and pinion on my 4Runner as mentioned here in your comments section about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I literally had my laptop next to me as I replayed your video. Your torque specs call outs as you reassemble everything was indispensable and worked like a charm for me. My 4Runner came out great. Thank you, thank you , thank you. You are amazingly AWESOME.

Thank you very much for this great video! I called the local dealership and their estimate for this job was $1800 which meant it probaly would have been closer to $2000. After watching your video a few times, I decided to replace it myself. With some patience and many references back to the video, I was able to complete the Rack and Pinion replacement on my 1998 Toyota 4Runner over the weekend. The part and tools needed cost me about $600. The alignment afterwards cost me $120. Thank you very much for the knowledge and the huge savings!
Being a mechanic and never doing one of these on a Toyota, your video is very detailed and instructive! Helped me do the job in about three hrs. Thanks for the video, and keep it up man!
Great video. I just replaced mine, and I'd like to leave a few notes other DIYers. Buy a return line end adaptor. I didn't because I excreted to reuse the old one. That mistake made the project take an extra day. Go ahead and take both skid plates off. This simple move makes the powersteering lines more easily accessible.
Excellent video, it helped me do a job that it would cost me $1,200 at the shop. There are two things I would add to it: alternate ways to remove tie rod ends and removing the tin plate underneath for better visibility and access to nuts and bolts to be removed. Banging the tie rod ends with a hammer to cause them to drop didn’t work I had to borrow a tool from a friend to achieve this step, where I got stuck the longest trying to figure out how to remove them. And removing the tin plate completely made things a lot easier. Thank you for sharing this video!!!👏🏽👍🏽
I'll be replacing the rack n pinion on my 2001 4Runner in 2 weeks. I will use your video as my step by step. Very enjoyable video. Very thorough....so I subscribed to your channel.
This was a good crash course for me. A few yrs ago I had my old ‘99 RR body mated to a younger, rust free ‘01 rolling frame. Bought a new rack & pinion, in the quote my shop claimed I should get new outer tie rods. From this video, I’m really not seeing why. But I see I can pick them up much cheaper than what they tried to charge!
Awesome video. Very very detailed on every step-by-step. We were stuck on the installation and you helped us through. For sure subscribing to your channel!! 👍👍
Where did you get 96ft-lbs for left bolt my service manual says 153..? It says 123 ft-lbs for the right side like you have though. Im doing this on my 3rd gen rn so im just curious
All I can say is buy OEM on this one. Aftermarket ones don’t last. Think I paid around 600.00 for steering gear. Along with OEM tie rods. Got 265,000 on my 2002. I plan on keeping this Houston beauty a longtime.
Excellent video...How may hour would you say it took you to complete the entire job I understand this is a video so an estimated time to do it? If an experienced mechanic were to do it, labor time? Thank you.. I am in the Houston area for any of you mechanic who knows how to do this and want to make extra money.
Watching this made me cringe. So many things were done wrong it's pathetic. It would take me a half hour to explain everything. Do not try and do it his way!

Thank you for this series, it’s great to see a Toyota comparable to my northeast 02 Tacoma. The rust is strong w this one
Great video! A simple but very effective tutorial. Thanks!
Great video! Very detailed. Excellent lighting and camera placement. One of the best I have seen. Thanks!

Thank you very much for your expertise when I disconnected the lines and back I forgot which one went where😢
Nice grips on the line
Great video by the way

Did you need to use the two new o- rings that came with the new rack?
Excellent video. Thanks!
I also bought the VNSH holster. Looking forward to trying it out.
Are the torque specs the same for a Toyota Tacoma this year as well?
Is this for a 2wd or 4wd, is there any difference in the two?

Great video but wish i knew to have a 2 jaw puller for stuck tie rods..
Outstanding video thanku!
How did you know it needed replacement?

Great video. Thanks for sharing it!
Im shopping for a Toyota tool kit to do this. Any recommentations?
2:17. ... WHAT!? Are you doing Here??
