09 Yaris electric steering problem MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
I'm the orig owner..its a 4 dr hatch, auto with electric steering 185000 km
About a month ago I detected a clunk coming from the L/F of the car when going down a gravel road or over a bump.. I investigated and found movement on the left inner tie rod (or so I thought)...I bought the inner tie rod tool (Amazon) and a inner tie rod (also Amazon) and started to the disassemble... however when I got the tie rod off I found the movement was from the electric power steering rack. It appears the left side mounting bolt has rusted and broken off (on the bottom of the car...its a 17mm nut) allowing the rack to lift up a bit.... the right side appears OK. WHat Now? HAs anyone else had this happen? There is a bolt head (17mm)... inconveniently located aft of the steering shaft so very hard to get to..that appears to be the other end(top) of the broken bolt but it won't move..its seated in what appears to be a rubber grommet or bushing... Can I pound that bolt out from the bottom (by pounding upwards with a punch in the hole the bottom end of the bolt broke left in the mounting plate ? Thanks for any help!!!
