1997 toyota avalon the power steering rack leaks at 51000 miles and is a known problem to toyota. Also need to be repaired at 99000 miles the front strut mounting also failed near 50000 miles and is failing again at 99500 miles. The power steering pump makes excessive noise and leaks. This problem started about 51000 miles as well. Weakness in the steering makes this a dangerous vehicle. I contacted the toyota service center and they said they were well aware of the problems but the vehicle is out of warranty.
