Most repairs by independent mechanics are using rebuilt OEM Toyota racks. I would trust a rebuilt Toyota way before I would a new cut rate aftermarket. Or your friend can spring for the new part at the dealership. The AC Delco rebuilts have a two year unlimited miles warranty.

The new part at the dealer is twelve hundred dollars. (Just the part!)

For comparison I just had (at independent garage) my Gen 1 Tundra SR5 TRD steering gear replaced with a remanufactured OEM rack including the tie rod ends, bushings and new stabilizer bar bushings done too, mine also needed a dealer-only part a new lower steering shaft that costs $129 at the dealer which is completely separate from the rack assembly (due to corrosion here in the frozen north) I requested my mechanic also replace the alternator belt just because it seemed a good time to, and he sent it out for a four wheel alignment too, flushed and filled steering fluid and the total for the whole job was $1,100.
I have no doubt a new RAV4 rack is $1,200 for the part.

Don't get a MAVAL. The repair shop put this brand in and less then three years in, it is already leaking and making strange noises on tight turns. The product has a lifetime warranty, but the labor will run another $700 or so to replace. Not worth it.

You can usually find a toyota dealer with an online presence that will sell at much lower prices than a walk in dealer.
I'm in Houston and we have two one that is a walk in and the other that is across town that has an online but with walkin pickup. Almost half price in many itmes like bumpers etc that I bought through them.
