    So I got my taco back from the shop today...They managed to unsieze all the TRE's and did a 4 Wheel Alignment for $200 :D beats the $833.00 FT bill :eek:...I think spraying liquid wrench and tapping the TRE's for a couple days helped out a bit ;) now I have some extra $$$ to treat the beast...maybe some new leaf spring haha...I'll let u guys know if my gas mileage improves at all...

    hmmmmm.

    was this the first time you'd taken it in complaining of wandering? ...it almost sounds like someone tried to increase the toe-in to compensate for the wandering.

    i'm also not clear as to how stuck rod ends could cause wander. ...hell, i've never had a rod end just come loose ...it always requires beating the shit out of it and applying heat in some cases.

    maybe someone with more knowledge will chime in and explain..

    Yes...I've only owned this truck for just over a year now and it was my first big road trip where I realized it felt like it was floating or wandering at 110km or so...

    probably kilometers. 450 kilometers comes to about ~270 miles.
