TERREPOWER formerly BBB Industries Rack and Pinion Assembly P/N:N311-0204
Swap in a brand-new 1998-2000 Toyota Tacoma steering rack with the TERREPOWER (formerly BBB Industries) New Power Steering Rack & Pinion, part number N311-0109. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2000 Toyota Tacoma (all engines). This premium-quality unit is built with dependability and reliability in mind. The rack and pinion turns steering wheel rotation into the side-to-side motion that steers the wheels, and hydraulic assist helps reduce steering effort.
A steering rack may need replacing if you see power steering fluid leaking at the rack, stiff or uneven steering effort, excessive free play, or a knock when turning. The pump, lines and tie rods can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the rack.
The listed application uses one rack per vehicle.
Country of origin: China.
