The driver's side steering rack bushing is deteriorated due to , you guessed it, a leaky power steering pump. The steering wanders plenty becuase of it is no long held tight to the chassis. The passenger-side mount is OK though.

My problem is that this bushing seems to be unavailable unless you buy the whole rack!

I figure the rack rebuilders must have a source for these --somewhere.

The only way I know of replacing the bush without buying a rack is to get hold of a skateboard wheel (neoprene I think they are) and then machine it down to size.

I need to get a whole rack and pinion set? Man this is getting confusing....

Times Change!

Andrew Vlamos from Oz makes replacement rack bushes for the drivers side (fits SC & later Supra's), Toyota supply the single large "grommit" for the pass side.

If you have trouble locating the Vlamos parts they are available from www.tifbitz.co.uk, postage will be minimal as they weigh just a few ounces.
