    Hey guys I'm new to this but I've been searching all over the web and taken my truck to several spots trying to figure whats going on with my truck, it's a 3rd gen tacoma trd off road with a 6in bds lift, 35x12.5x18 with fox 2.5 Reservoir. Every time I go through dips my front tires squeal and they turn left to right like I'm about to loose control, my truck is aligned, tires psi is at 31, someone pls help me lol and still have stock upper and lower control arms.

    Does it shake/shimmy or just pull to one side when it squeals? What were the alignment numbers and how long ago?

    If it shakes/shimmies then there is probably something loose or worn out like a tie rod end or ball joint. It can potentially be very dangerous if that is the case so I would have it inspected before driving more.

    With drop brackets and spindles providing the lift you shouldn't need aftermarket control arms.

    Sounds like textbook rubbing to me. What have you done to clear the fenders?

    The alignment was done recently went through bds trying to figure out if it's the lift itself and when I hit dips it does shake/shimmy

    It needs to go back to the installer, preferably by flatbed. Sounds like they forgot something or F'd something up

    Sounds like your ABS is not tuned with your lift.

    A year ago?! Lol. If you take it to the installer is probably going to tell you to pound sand, rightfully so. Don't hurt yourself or someone else by waiting until you steering fails or a control arm finally splits and spits out a bushing.

    Toyota would not touch that truck with a 10 ft pole. Something is worn. Sounds like the beginning of death wobbles.

    Sounds like bump steer caused by a worn component/s.

    I don’t recommend pulling ABS fuse 2 to disable ABS and drive without it and the corresponding dash idiot lights that would help isolate if ABS is involved. But the dealer would do a speedometer recalibration if that is the problem.
