Just a general observation on the rack movement.

I checked my 2001 Tacoma, and 99 4Runner and both of them show quite a bit of rack movement while turning the steering wheel when stopped. Of course this puts more stress on the rack bushings than steering while the tires are rolling, but I was really surprised at how much movement there is with the standard rubber bushings, some of this must be normal.

After we installed the energy suspension poly bushings on the 95 Tacoma, there was no rack movement at all even when turning the steering wheel when stopped. So they do flex a lot less than the original rubber bushings.
