We put the energy suspension bushings for the steering rack on the kids 95 Tacoma this past weekend.

All of the rack bolts (5 of them) are pretty easy to get to, then the rack moves out a bit to get to the bushings. The tricky part was getting the old bushings out in the tight space and then also getting all the bolts lined up again with the new bushings. Took us about 1.5 hours total, we also needed to jack the front end up a little so you can move the rack around once its unbolted. Its one of those jobs that can frustrate you pretty quick since its all lying under the truck working in some pretty tight spaces.

Oh, I believe we only needed 19mm and 22mm sockets to do this job, as well as a gear puller used in a creative way to push out one of the old bushings.

$325 sure does seem a bit extreme for labor on this job. If one had access to a proper garage with lift and a good set of tools, I agree it could probably be done in an hour.
