    hey guys, just going through all the things to get my jap levin all smick since i've picked it up and one thing i've found is the little uni joint that joins the colum to the rack is completly buggered and has alot of free play in it. now having snapped one of these little buggers before im keen to fix it as soon as possible but $286 from toyota just isnt gona happen. im assumeing the rack's between ozzie and jap sprinters are the same but is there any other toyota that i can butcher the part from?? AE82? KE70? AE71?

    also the rack has a falcrum sticker on it, im just guessing its been rebuilt at some stage or mabe i have a different rack?

    ps, this is my first 86 and im lovin it

    I would be checkin for play in your rack as this is where the play usually developes the worst on sprinters.

    After that I would assume perhaps a KE70/AE71 rack would have the same uni in it as it was once thought that the racks were interchangable between these and sprinters, but it was found the rack internally is different.

    Just go to a wreckers and have a good look at them.

    Good luck,

    Jeremy

    a power steering joint should be able to fix it for around $130-150
