  • 2016 SR5 4x4 procedure for removing and replacing a steering rack or replacing the OEM rubber bushings with Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings. The OEM bushings will wear out eventually if you have oversized tires with a lift etc. and the rack will have movement.
    I highly recommend Coach Builder for his tie rod ends and rear shackles. You can purchase the Energy Suspension bushings on his website as well. David is the owner and will help you on the phone personally! He is an American based business and his products are Made in the USA!

    I'm looking into buying a Tundra and this video has been a great help towards helping me with the decision if I feel like taking on someone else's headache.

      Thanks for the comment. Check out my latest video on replacing the Flex Fuel Pump. Try to avoid getting an FFV Tundra if you can. Here is a link th-cam.com/video/B6jRlR8gbjw/w-d-xo.html

    I remember doing my first one of these as a tech. I probably struggled to get that rack out of there for about 45 minutes. Now it comes right out. You sure made this thing look easy. Well done and excellent video.

      Thank you for the compliment and comment. I see alot of people say they don't drop the front diff to do this job but that seems like a nightmare.

    Thank you for posting this video. I have a 2wd Tundra so I was able to skip the diff drop, but the section on the hydraulic lines really helped me get over a hurdle. Bushings replaced, alignment done, truck is better than when I got it. (I bought it used with unknown steering damage).

      That awesome new! Yes, the 2wd is so much easier lol. I'm glad the video helped.

    Wonder if this can be done with without removing the diff if I’m lifted 6”.
    I’d prob take the inner tie rods off cause it’s quick and easy, less hassle getting the rack in and out that way. But I don’t have anyone to help me do my work so I look for little things to help me lol.
    I did my full lift install alone, that front diff can be a pain in the ass. What works well is a motorcycle jack! I’m lucky to have one.

    Hi
    Thank you for putting this video.
    what was the part number and the where did you source the universal u-bolt joint for the steering column?

    What size engine do you have. I have a 2010 Tundra with 5.7 and I am having an issue getting replacement in. I had to remove the input shaft of the old one in order to get it out. Does anyone have any suggestions for me. I feel I have to either lift engine up or remove oil filter housing but even then Im not sure any comments would be greatly appreciated.

    • @tundratime941
      @tundratime941  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is the 5.7. Did you watch the full video? You have to remove the front differential to get the rack out if yours is a 4x4.

    Take the two bolts loose on the lower control arm for the love of God so you don't destroy all your brake lines and sensor wires trying to get those driveshafts out.

    I don’t know why people insist on doing this job without pulling the front differential. It just seems like it would be so painful to do with the diff in the way. I replaced my rack and honestly dropping a differential was only about 30 minutes worth of work I couldn’t imagine trying to work around it to replace some bushings or something

    • @Paco53
      @Paco53 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Maybe because they don't want the diff to leak after all that work?

      @@Paco53 It's easy and like I said at the end of the video just drain the diff before you even start this project. Then just refill at the end. This was my first time doing this entire project so I learned alot and I would be much faster and efficient the next time.

      Hopefully there is not going to be a next time.. I bought my truck knowing it would need a new rack, I'm truly worried about this project, but I guess I will learn a New thing or two.. thanks for the helpful video
