Really nice solution! I'd snap one up, but with a right-hand drive KZN185, it'd need to be a mirror image :)

Amayama only have that part number down for the 4Runner and Tacoma, Buy Genuine Toyota 4425035042 (44250-35042) Gear Assy, Power Steering (For Rack & Pinion). Prices, fast shipping, weight - Amayama You could try getting a price from a Toyota dealer. I've done that in the past for Surf spares...

Put me down for 2, please :thumb3:

I've bought lots of stuff from them, no problems. All genuine parts with the Toyota part number stickers on. Much easier than trying to source parts for a Japanese import through a local Toyota dealer here in the UK!
