    New Rack & Pinion Assembly from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1AST...
    This video shows you how to install a rack and pinion assembly on your 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner. The rack and pinion assembly transforms the turning motion of your steering wheel to the push and pull motions that turn the front wheels of your vehicle, as well as adding the power assistance. If the steering rack on your vehicle is leaking, or damaged in some way, you might need to replace it entirely.
    This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
    1996 Toyota 4Runner
    1997 Toyota 4Runner
    1998 Toyota 4Runner
    1999 Toyota 4Runner
    2000 Toyota 4Runner
    2001 Toyota 4Runner
    2002 Toyota 4Runner

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
    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.

    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!

    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!
