    I picked up a used 2003 trd model and have been playing around with it. It has low miles and a recent frame, control arms and springs recall/replacement. I recently replaced the rusted rear Tokico shocks with new ones from an ebay dealer. I find the suspension feel to be strange. Kind of teeter/totter front to back. The front struts look ok. Is this normal? Blown front shock/strut possible?
