    Need some help here, I have a 2016 tacoma with a 3” lift(new struts and shocks) with 33x12.50 R18. I have gotten two alignments now and the closest they can get the D/S caster is .02 which is pretty close to spec, probably is anytime I’m going 55+ mph I start getting a lot of play in steering wheel. It doesn’t feel like body roll so please give me your opinions on the matter.

    I have the same problem. I read its cause our caster is too low or neg therefore we lose stability and control of the steering at high speeds. it doesnt effect cambering or tire wear. My caster is maxed out at 0.9 on stock oem UCAs, so in order to fix it and get a higher caster (make sure you get specs for lifted truck and not factory which most guys say is around 3), we need aftermarket UCAs to adjust the ride angle and boost it up.
