I received a safety recall notice for my 93 SR5 Truck stating that I need to have my Steering Relay Rod Replaced. Does anyone know where this puppy is located? I could not find in the manuals. Thanks.

 

I found it. It is located under the piman arm which is connected to the gear housing....I just needed to investigate a little further. Did anyone else receive this notice from Toyota?

I meant "Pitman arm."

 

It's the longest piece of the steering rod running between the tie rod ends (@ 32" in length).

 

See the sticky at the top, there is currently 330 replies. Enjoy!

 

Yeah, all you want to know and way, way, way, way, way more. It's under the special service campaign sticky thread.

Moved to the newbie section.

 

adam f,looks like ya got a scad of tundra ball joints there also,we did 4 relay rods friday,i think toyota has recently continued down the list of mailings,one of the roughest truck ive seen was in on same day,had a brake fluid leak from the brake lines rusting thru-had new york plates,dont know how they got all the way to western ky to have the "campaign" done

 

So what would you guys say is the average "out of pocket' for a customer coming in for this recall?

 

$0.00 for me.

 

I think Toyota USA has straightened out their dealers - when you read the long stickied thread, you'll see that most of the problems were at the begining of the campaign, and after several people complained (myself included), it got better.

 

YOu shouldnt have to pay for anything. YOu are also entitled to a free alignment.

 

Well, sorta not really. Be sure to check out the long thread for all the consternation about alignments.
