I've never seen a package deal on these parts. A rebuilt rack usually comes with new inner tie rods. But you'll need to buy new outer tie rod ends, stabilizer end links and you should really take this opportunity to replace the power steering lines. The deteriorate from the inside and can wear out the new rack much faster.
You need to remove the stabilizer bar and the hangers in the sub frame.Once you have the sway bar completely off you can remove the old bushings and then spray the bar with penetrating oil and put the new bushings in their place,where the old ones were.re bolt everything and you're done.
remove the screws holding the front cover and then you will see four bolt screws holding the radio in place, remove them then slide radio out unplug the connrector and antena wire, if installing an aftermarket radio you will need the harness plug to make wiring easy and also a mounting kit to mount radio in car.

If you are attempting to install an aftermarket radio Don't butcher the plugs on your Toyota ... simply go to a car stereo shop and buy an adapter plug for $10-$20 then wire it to your new radio ... then just plug them together (the wires on the adapter are marked) You'll likely need a dash kit too ... save yourself from a lot of frustration time and money! ....
