At 150k I did a complete front end rebuild. Camelback steering rack, outer tie rod ends, OEM control arms, rag joint, alignment adjustment bolts etc.
I don’t drive very much, maybe 5k a year. So now I’m at 170k 5 years later.
I had my truck on the lift and discovered my rack was leaking, the rack bushings had play and one tie rod end had play (or the rack has play?).

All I got was about 20k from the camelback rack.
The reman rack I believe only has a 1 year warranty.

I feel short changed by Toyota. I was able to get 150k out of my original rack.

I really don’t wheel, I use my 4wd for the snow on roads.

I would like to find a contact at Toyota who represents their parts and give a piece of my mind. I’m sure this is futile. Camelback couldn’t/wouldn’t do anything.

How can Toyota put their name on a sub par part? Normally I accept Toyotas short warranty because I’m buying a quality part that will last as good as new. In this case I feel Toyota is responsible, they are putting their name on it.

At this point I don’t want to rebuild or buy a rebuilt because I don’t trust what I’m getting after spending $$$$$.

What should I do?
