Steering Rack Part Numbers

442500C030 & 442500C041

Apparently the 030 is for "Non rear stabilizer (sway bar)" rigs and the 041 is for Tundras that came WITH rear stabilizers.

When shopping for a new rack - the 041 OEM racks are ~$300 less.

BUT if you look at Rockauto racks, the manufacturers list BOTH part numbers for their racks for a 2005 Tundra 4.7L.

I am pretty sure the "non rear stabilizer" rigs were 2WD.

So, what the heck is the difference in these steering racks?

 

No ideas out there?

 

I shop on Rock Auto all the time, and I will eventually need one myself, and would go with the brand new Cardone. IMO I wouldn't worry about that difference take the chance and go with cardone, not a bad price. No core to ship back either.

 

@NWTundra11 - did you figure out the difference on these part numbers? What rack did you end up going with?

I've recently discovered mine is leaking and needs to be replaced...

 

I recently installed an EDELMANN 2026 from rock auto on my 2007 Sequoia 4wd and I am pleased with it.
Mine was missing a dust cover 452220C010 which I ordered from Toyota.
It came with new rubber grommet for mounting the rack.
It shipped in a nice foam lined box.
