    Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks. Added leaf in rear. Custom grill wheels tires sub box.
    Here's my story:
    I bought my 2004 tacoma and not even a week after the driver side tire flew off while going down the highway. Luckily I had full coverage so I was able to replace the front fender, brake caliper, wheel studs, and lower ball joint nut.

    I was experiencing a slight pull to the passenger side while driving so I went in for an allignment (tires plus). They told me that were able to adjust it slightly but not completely, the camber is maxed out. When I took It for a drive I noticed it still pulled to the right and was a bumpy ride. Possibly worse than before. I thought maybe my procomp mud tires were out of balance so my next step was to have those balanced. After the balance my symptoms did not change at all!! My last idea was maybe a radial pull from the tires so I again went to tires plus and they swamped the two front tires around. That changed nothing. I am running out of options.

    I also recently noticed a pretty good lean on the front end towards the passenger side. Not sure if the lean appeared after the allignment but it was definitley after the accident. Is this maybe caused by my bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks?

    I have no idea what is causing these problems. Any ideas??

    Calipers nee replacing!! only the front right is working, replace both as pairs as well as the pads. tires may have scallops and if so may need replacing, rotate big tires every 6 months.
