i'm driving altis. toyota service center quoted me rm400++ for each.
i bought at spare part, only Rm50 per rack. workmanship is expensive a bit > RM40 for each side.

Problem identified. Its because the tie rod end faulty. But I have to say I am really disappointed with the workshop becos they aren't using HOP as I told them to. But still they charge me HOP price .... Thats y the parts fail in such a short time ....

Changing all bushes won't solve the problem, have to change the ball joints and end links for ARB as well.

Nothing beat the HOP. I changed mine 5 years ago, all HOP and it last until now. When comes to HOP, make sure you insist those Made in Japan, those HOP made in Thailand is slightly cheaper, but they won't last as long as the HOP made in Japan.

Money well spent.
