Rack And Pinion Leak On Hilux D4D2009

Post by D4D2009 »

Hi Gents,

I own a Hilux Double Cab D4D 2009 model with 130 000 on the clock (Actually went for the 130k service 3 weeks ago at Toyota).

To my disgust I found a oil leak on the paving Monday and when I had a look underneath the bakkie it was the rack and pinion leaking (On the actual rubber boot is the leak).

I made contact with Toyota but after they telephonically quoted me 15k for replacement I will have to go elsewhere.

Do any of you know of a reputable company that repairs these units with success in Cape Town? My technical knowledge is limited to Google search thus if you need any further information please let me know.

I know I'm not a active member here so sorry for "abusing" your knowledge, but as this was my first Toyota I have only had a good time owning it, this is now my first problem.

Thank you in advance.
