Steering on a 07 is a rack not. Box. The bushings go bad. It's actually just a bad design. I'm on my 4th rack. They are crap. Don't get the rebuild get the actual new one.

You can redo pretty much of the complete suspension front and rear for a lil over 2 grand. That includes ball joints arms rods ect....

I'm looking at this on my 07 as well. The only original suspension up front are the inner tie rod ends and the lower control arm bushings. Everything else is new and I still feel the sloppy steering over uneven roads.

I've looked at a couple of my other vehicles with a steering rack and they don't have bushings at the mounting points like these trucks do. Even my STS appears to be a solid mounting point and that isn't harsh through the steering wheel.

In the spring I'm going to look at maybe finding a replacement bushing that might fit, maybe there's a control arm bushing out there that would be the right size to press in. Either that or maybe a solid piece of machined steel/aluminum to press in to eliminate the rubber and see how that works.
