Rack & Pinion issue - 2001 Taco

After installing new Rancho's on the front, I noticed a slight shimmy when I hit bumps.

Inspecting everything discovered an issue with the R&P. In the attached pic of the drivers side (boot off) the rod shown moves up and down a 1/4 to 1.2 in each direction (up/down).



Was hoping to get by with just the bushing replace but that ship apears to have sailed.

So the real questions are; Where the best place to get new unit? Is there any I should avoid? How hard are these to replace (Write-up)?

I am suppose to leave on a 800 mile round trip on Tuesday so I guess I am looking for another vehicle.
