    If got an 07 db prerunner with a 3 inch lift and im having some steering issues that may not even be issues. Ive aligned the truck a few times and the same issue is still there. It seems to have alittle bump steer i think. Im not curtian but when i drive on a really bumpy surface the truck seems to go all over the place. Does anyone else have this problem if so what do i need to do to correct this. im sick of it. Ive heard that i need new uca's.
    Let me know if you guys have the same issue and if you have any ideas on how to fix it.

    thanks in advance

    It seems like I have a little bump steer too. Not horribly bad, but there is something there. I have a 3" lift as well, with larger tires.

    A few bolts are different.
    Yes Sir you got it. Mine does the same thing because of the stock usc's not being able to align quite right. Its only off by 1-2 degrees but it will make it wonder if the road is bumpy or rutted.

    You won't need the TSB with the AAL, you arlready fixed the problem. Nice looking truck. I haven't experienced this problem and have a 3" lift with larger tires.

    Sounds like you have caster issues. Total Chaos UCA's will fix the wandering proble. Tacomas dont have alot of caster from the factory. I think only about 2.5 to 3.0* +/-. When I lifted my truck before the UCA's my caster was .7*, now with the TC UCA's installed, I have 2.5* and 3.0* driver and passenger side respectively. No more wander and bump steer is under control. Also, the TC UCA's give a bit more down travle to your front suspension, which is always a good thing. :)
