    I took my truck up to all pro about 6 months ago and had them do a alignment. I didn't drive the truck much after it till I blew the transmission on my dodge.

    The truck will pull to the left then right at highway speeds with front end shimmy.

    I have put new shocks,wheel bearings,ball joints and had the tires rebalanced along with new tie rods and a set of spc adjustable upper control arms.


    I'm pretty much out of ideas what else it could be.

    Ive had good luck at NTB. Not sure if you are asking about alignment or vibrations though.

    Have you tried getting it aligned again since the time you got it done at all pro? I got mine aligned at Firestone after getting my SPC UCAs put on and it drives fine

    I also would recommend Tandem Automotive in Fort Worth. Pablo the owner is a Tacoma guy and if he can't align you truck no one can. I had several shops try on my truck before he was able to diagnose a bent spindle which fixed my issue.

    I recently had Firestone align my Tacoma. Tech mentioned everything was within spec but my camber was sitting just outside spec and the current alignment bolts on there had no adjustment. @ 70mph the truck pulls hard to the right. I have since ordered Moog problem solver alignment kit which have a +/- 1.5* adjustment. These should put me into spec.
