I recently put my toyota colorado in for an mot it failed on the bushes that are used to mount the steering rack were worn. the only one that i am able to replace is the D shaped one the other two are part of the rack and are not sold separately. i have had the rack off and the bushes look fine and i have replaced the D shaped one, but the rack still moves when steering. all i want to know is if it should move or if it should be held fast.

Again, sorry for my initial response. I thought the post was in error but I was wrong.

I think tractordave means a toyota tacoma, we have two in our family. I have checked ours and there is some movement in the rack and pinion unit. The 98 moves slightly more than tyhe 2000. We put the new D shaped bushing on the 98 from a 4x4 shop made out of uretane instead of rubber, seems to eliminate some of the movement. Scott

The original poster is from the UK as he talks about a MOT (ministry of transport inspection). So I at first figured it was not a North American model. who knows what Toyota makes for that market maybe they brand the highlander as a Colorado. I think that it is the Land cruiser though.
