Tundra steering rack bushings

My 2001 Tundra was wandering down the road, drifting left and right.
The steering rack bushing were allowing the rack to move way more
than I though right.

Energy Suspension has a urethane bushing kit, number 8.10101 or
something similar, listed for 1999 & 2000 Tundras that fits all
years to the best of my knowledge, about $18. I think this kit is
relabeled by Total Chaos and sold by Wheeler's Off Road and others,
about $28.

Anyway, after installing the kit and getting the alignment set...+2°
or more caster is VERY important, the truck handles great.
Changing the bushings seems to change only the toe-in, but it never
hurts to check things with a 4-wheel thrust alignment. Toyota's
caster spec is way too wide...from +0.6° to +2.1°; the truck can be
"within spec" and handle like a pig.

Toyota sells a replacement bushing for the far right bushing, but
for the bushings in the rack itself they will only sell a complete
new rack!
