    Ask for AE71 Rack ends, not sure if the tie rod ends will work but I assume so.

    Repco wanted close to $400 for an AE86 PBR master cylinder for my ae71, which would have been a special order, so I bought an AE71 one. Exact same part for 114 dollars, and it was on the shelf. Although they have different PBR part numbers, they are the same thing, by specification.

    Same goes for tonnes of stuff at Repco. Do your research before you go.

    Refurbished my rack a few weeks ago.

    On the work trade account got rack ends from repco for $19ea.

    Also got a genuine toyota rack guide bush for lh end of the rack $48.

    Tie rod ends were tight as - looked like recent replacements.

    Well worth doing, especially the if the guide bush is worn, as if left it will damage the
    shaft and require major work down the track.
