TERREPOWER formerly BBB Industries Rack and Pinion Assembly P/N:N311-0204
Replace a worn or leaking steering gear with the TERREPOWER (formerly BBB Industries) Rack and Pinion N311-0166, a new power steering unit that turns steering wheel rotation into the side-to-side motion that moves the tie rods and steers the wheels. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1995-2001 Toyota Tacoma and the 1996-2000 Toyota 4Runner, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
If a worn or leaking rack and pinion in your 1995-2001 Toyota Tacoma is behind your steering complaints, this new unit replaces it. Diagnose the cause first, since pumps, hoses and tie rod ends can cause similar symptoms. Install it following the vehicle service information, and see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.

What does a rack and pinion assembly do?
It converts the turning of the steering wheel into side-to-side movement of the tie rods to steer the wheels. On this power unit it also provides assist that helps reduce steering effort.
What are signs the steering rack may need replacing?
Possible signs include power steering fluid leaking from the rack, heavy or uneven steering effort, excess play in the wheel, or knocking when turning. Diagnose the cause first, since other parts can cause these.
What should I plan for when installing it?
Follow the vehicle service information for the procedure, including filling and bleeding the power steering system. A wheel alignment is typically recommended after replacing a steering rack.
