    Have yall experienced your tacoma damn near overnight become almost dabgerous on the highway? At low speeds, all good ,but at highway speed (im guessing it has one of those 55mph+ steering gearing thing deals...)and i can seem to pinpoint why i dont see any markings underneath that are further apart than normal. Im friggin stumped here. Hit me with your taco-knowledge... thanks guys n gals

    If it was fine before and all of a sudden became and handful to drive at speed then I'd say something came loose or went out of alignment... might be worth taking it in to an alignment shop and seeing if everything is straight. Something else worth doing might be to jack up the front end and see if the front end has any significant play anywhere. Good luck.
