    2006 Tacoma single cab. Had an alignment done after I reset my bilsteins, steering dosent feel correct. It drives straight, the steering wheel is centered perfect maybe slight drift in one direction but that's normal, nothing drastic. Anyway the steering feels so stiff. A slight turn to the left and the truck feels like I turned the wheel fast. If I drive down the road and pull it left to right it feels like I'm yanking on the wheel. It dosent feel smooth anymore. Small increments on turning react in quick sudden turns left and right. It's very reactive. Sounds pretty good but it dosent feel right. Sorry with all of the odd ways of describing it but it hard to say what's happening without it sounding like everything is correct.

    It might just be that the shocks are more responsive on that setting. What else do you have done to the suspension? Stock coils?

    Suspension is stock. Coils I believe are original, 270k on my truck. I would post numbers but they said their printer wasn't working but when I looked at the screen it looked pretty good.

    Tell the shop the alignment didn't take and have them redo it, most shops will guarantee their work for a short time. If you wait a month you will have to pay again.

    Probably a good idea to do first before digging into it myself. Thanks for your input.
