No experience with Cardone but have used several racks from Detroit Axle on various Toyotas and so far so good with 2 of the 3 in use for well over 2 years/24k miles. They have a lifetime warranty but I haven't read the fine print since I haven't needed it. You do have to send in your old unit as a core to get that warranty. Just an option.

Thank you,
I know some one that swears by Detroit Axel. I have an appointment for Monday morning with this shop. There is a Toyota Dealer 70 miles south who has a brand new oem rack and inner tie rod ends for $511.00 plus $43 dollars tax. Internet price ,I called them today and they told me it comes from a warehouse in NY and I would not get it in Massachusetts until Tuesday, I may call them . To see if they can get it by Saturday and I would drive down to get it. Thank you,
Glenn

 

You might want to look at pricing, and what's available at rockauto.com
(And BTW, one choice is a remanufactured rack by Cardone)
Toyota OEM parts are generally not magical, they're usually just the most expensive choice.

Yes I did look at Rock Auto as I have bought parts from them before. And for the most part I figure that Rock Auto would not sell junk since they have a good reputation. All of the stores up here in the northeast, Auto Zone ,Napa, Advanced Auto, O’Reilly’s and Pep Boys all sell Cardone Racks. Maybe their quality has gotten better.
