| I have a 2005 tundra 2wd trd. i have to replace the steering rack and recommended that i replace both rear bearings. when looking the problems on the internet i have discovered that these issues are very common for the tundra in earlier production. the steering rack was manufactured with inferior material that has been known to where out. the same with the rear bearings. if this is such a common problem why hasn't a formal investigation ever been performed on these two elements of the tundra. | |||

| I had my 2005 tundra bed loaded to the maximum advertised weight capacity. once i entered the hwy and reached a speed of 45 the vehicle went out of control. i have been driving for many years and have never experienced a loss of control like this. the vehicle left the road and flipped upside down. the cab held up great and everyone was wearing their seatbelt therefor there were not signifigant injuries. atleast one of the tires were off the rim but i'm not sure if this was a result of the accident or a cause. | |||
