hello, I am new to this site and am in dire need of some help identifying this part, it stripped when i was removing the pressure hose and return hose, the bolt to tighten them on, if anyone knows of a place to order it that would ship to Canada or can provide me with repair solutions it would be very very much appreciated. I hope to restore my supra to its glory and keep this beautiful car's memory alive. I also am having a bit of issue finding some other simple parts, everything else like the body of this vehicle is pretty much in mint condition i have more pictures if anyone is interested. I also eventually hope to put a 2jz engine in this 87 supra. Love my Supra, just a newb at vehicle mechanics

but i am willing to put in the time and dedication to learn everything there is to know about this marvelous creation.

Did you strip the fittings or the housing? If it's the fittings, you'll have to replace the lines. If it's the housing, that's the power steering rack. The lines should be available from Toyota. So is the rack, but at a much higher price...

its the housing, I called toyota dealership here and they said they no longer manufacture parts for this vehicle, should I call like a factory or something? any ideas where i could get this part or which section of Toyota to call? Someone had mentioned taking it to a truck hydraulic shop to have it re-threaded with a coil. Not sure if that would work because of the extruding circle thing that lets fluid in. PS I am in thunder bay which is junky for this type of stuff, if there's another dealership in Canada that would make the parts could you let me know which location or US ill pay for shipping

Your dealer is uninterested in your money or is an idiot. Some parts may be in limited supply, and a few are discontinued, but they certainly do have parts available. They almost all have to be ordered in as the largest numbers are in the California and Japan warehouses. You can get a remanufactured rack at most parts places too, such as NAPA or Canadian Tire. Again, expect them to have to order it in.
