Have you checked the rubber coupling at the base (front) of your steering column lately? If not, it's probably in rough shape. I've got two new ones, complete with the special bolts, on sale on ebay right now. See image attached. Discount to Toyota Minis members! a flat $20 via paypal or venmo and the shipping's on me. 48 states only. It's part number 45230-35020. Should fit nearly all of our pickups and quite a few 4Runners too, but you should check to be sure. Email me: [email protected] and we'll set it up. Thanks!
