Steering rack bushings

Hey guys

I was searching for a post I saw. But could not find it. I’m redoing front end. I saw red bushings,polyurethane. For steering rack. Just cant seem to find it. Can anyone send me company link something.

I have a 2001 tundra V6 4x4 automatic access can

TIA

 

@Mhagha You need a build thread to keep all this stuff about your truck in one place. Anyways... this link will take you to RockAuto, and then you can decide on whichever of these bushings you want.


I have the red energy suspension bushings on my 2002 V6 2WD.

 

This forums search is better than the search over at F150Forums but I still prefer to Google, just works better.

Go with Energy. I've been using their stuff forever. Poly is great, just make sure you give a little lube at install to cut down on metal-to-poly squeaks. I prefer rubber, it's smoother, and no squeaking, but poly is, like, lifetime longevity.

 

Hey,
Are you saying I should just keep posting in one main thread? Not sure never did this

Either way I ordered. So thank you !!!

 

Yes, I am. This will help you, and help us help you more better. One of my "build" threads is 70 pages long, and counting.

I used to do that same thing when I was new. Didn't intend to come off as a jerk or anything. Just saying it'd be easier on everyone if you make one thread, and stick to it is all.

 

Some guys start a single thread for their truck, to keep up with the build process, and get input from others for their specific truck. There's a dedicated section of the forum for it, but some people just post it right here in the 1st gen section, because it gets more traction and attention over here.

 

Ohh well didn’t know. So if it’s good with you guys. I do have 2 more questions

My front cv axles. Do I have to grease them before install. The spline. Going into diff and part going into hub ?

 

I personally didn't when I pulled/installed mine. I can't see what it would hurt to slap some grease on em.

 

Total Chaos makes a set as well

 

Thank you everyone. I honestly don’t know what I would done without this site and you guys taking your time on here helping everyone!!

So yeah. Thanks again

 

I put a little bit of gear oil on both ends before install. Might not be necessary but it makes me feel better I guess.

 

I see that some guys changed the front diff plugs to Lexus drain plugs. Is this good to do? I’m about to drain it out and wondering if I should get new ones?

And I do know to try top plug first.


I had a beeper when i was 16, Wish we had the internet!

 

It's better because it won't strip out as easy as the 10mm hex head when it gets stuck in there. I didn't know it was a thing when I did mine or I'd have done it.

 

Correct. I got these part numbers from @des2mtn. You'll have to order from a lexus dealer like I had to, or maybe a Toyota dealership can get them if you call, and ask.



I could not get the drain plug out so I have not installed either of them yet. They look like they'd fit though.

 

Tundra 2

Thanks for part #s

I also thought each plug had a washer ?

 

I think each plug has its own washer. I can't remember for certain right now, and I never opened the package I got from the Lexus dealer.

 

No, but you probably had free premium cable channels for basic pricing. Remember the penny in the cable box trick to get all the channels?
