    It’s breakup season in Alaska, so all the roads are washed out and rutted. Wheel pulls pretty hard to the left and right as the tires drop into the holes. On my Pickup theres little to no feedback from dips but the taco seem to wanna yank the wheel a bit. checked the intermediate shaft and tie rods, made Sears redo alignment until it was perfect. Still excessive feedback while suspension is rebounding. any Ideas?

    You have a 3 inch lift and I assume large tires.... You will probably need aftermarket UCA to get the alignment proper.

    already have UCAs, diff drop, zerk’s ball joints..... CVs dont have any weird angles. tires are over rated but not terribly oversized. LT265/75R16 10 ply E rating.

    When you say the alignment is "perfect" what does that mean? The stock spec for caster is 2 degrees, but a lifted Tacoma needs 3. Your camber should be 0. I have tried as much as 4 degrees of caster with good results. I'm running 255/85-16s in E rating, and I do not have that problem.

    The other possibility is that something in your suspension or steering is broken or loose. Your alignment guy should have caught that.
