Thanks for the welcome KAA

Looking forward to hearing options 

cheers Tom 

Thanks Tony

Rung Toyota and they only sell a seal kit for the power steering pump and not the rack itself.

So im hoping someone can expand on my initial query re replacement racks and where I can buy over here

Thanks again for your input

Regards Tom 

Hi Tony

Thanks for the welcome and reply.

 I haven’t contacted Toyota as my mechanic recommend a complete unit replacement. Is it too hard or unreliable to replace seals only, is that why he recommended new unit maybe?

Thanks again

Hello everyone

I have a 2006 4x4 and although not too serious have developed slight weeping from the power steering rack which does seem to be increasing going by the garage floor. 

I’m in Perth and can’t find any where on Google that supplies these units locally, only over east with quite a large variation in price ($250-900)

Can someone please advise if there are seal kits for them or do I need to purchase a complete new assembly?
Is there a specific after market brand to look out for or steer clear of as the price variation seems quite extreme

Thanks for any input and advice

Regards Tom

Hello everybody, I’m new to this forum and looking for opinions for my young lads hilux which is a 2006 4x4 model

The power steering rack has been slowly weeping fluid for a while and seems to be getting progressively worse although not dripping. 

I have looked for replacement units here in Perth but can only find online from over east sellers ranging from $250 to $900. 

My question is, do I need to buy a complete assembly or is there a seal kit available to buy and is there a specific non market brand I should look for and also ones to avoid.

Thanks for any advice 

Regards Tom
