    Bought my dream truck and have a few concerns that are kinda bugging me. The truck came with a what looks like a 2" spacer on top of the coil, 285/75 BFG KM2's, and an ARB bullbar.

    1. The steering wheel is slightly off center, maybe and inch or two but enough to bug the hell out of me. Will an easy alignment fix this? Should the dealer do this for me? Truck does feel alittle wandersome at speed.

    2. Around 30-45 MPH I get a weird inconsistent buzz/hum that can be felt in the truck. Doesn't matter the gear. It's not the kind of vibration you get from unbalanced tires, but more of a waaaaaaa... stop for a couple seconds... waaaaaaaa. Very strange. Almost like a little bass coming from a speaker but the stereo is off. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    On the wandering, an alignment will probably fix it. I don't think that a 2 inch spacer lift really warrants after market UCA's but I could be wrong.

    I get a little buzzing sometimes randomly. I think it is just the way the tire treads hit that part of the road. If it is happening consistently for you though, that probably should be checked out.

    Lastly, WELCOME TO THE FORUM!

    Enjoy wasting all your time and money at this wonderful place.

    1) alignment will fix that msot likly.

    2) its the front diff needle bearing, super common and east coast gear supply makes a replacement for 60 i think. fixes the problem, i did hear toyota had a service bulletin to fix it also.
