I have a 2003 Toyota Tundra which developed an exhaust leak. The aft oxygen sensor became detached from the exhaust system. Upon further inspection I noticed the attaching hardware was missing, it corroded. I inspected other
hardware and noticed the steering shaft attach point has severe corrosion. The hardware that attaches the shaft to the steering gear rack and pinion is halfway corroded and will eventually fail. If the hardware fails loss of steering will occur. I live in new york and the truck has 100,000 miles on it. The truck is in great shape but frame and associated parts have corrosion. [xxx]
