    I was wondering if anyone else had this issue. I have a 2017 SR5 Crewmax that had a seal go bad in the power steering gear box at 7,000 miles. Every time I turned my wheel it would make a loud winding sound.

    Welcome Adam. I haven't heard of this. Was there evidence of a leak?

    This was just what the service department told me. They are replacing the whole gear box.
