The steering rack had fluid in the bellows....like ps fluid on pass side, and greasey substance on drivers.... I also have a small oil leak, I think from main pully's seal or oil pump area... Need to clean underside of truck to see... I hope she feels better handling wise after the alignment....
I tried to see if rack was an issue as toyota said, and it is. But no worse than before. I need a rack, but really wanted to spend my coins buying a header and SS brake lines/tundra break upgrade...
I think this will be it until tax season...

I pulled the trigger on 1" diff drop. After that she will get aligned. Then I can feel the "after".
