    Shop said all is good up front.
    New tires all around.
    Went 2000 miles on a trip and man This is all over the road if windy out or behind a box truck.
    Crawled under the front and nothing seems too loose. Shop looked a second time and said nothing loose.
    Sway bars tight.

    I read a post a while ago about leaf recall and the nuts were loose.

    Grabbed my tools and wow. Maybe 30ft was set. Each bolt took about half a turn. Even the shackles were loose on one side.

    Now it tracks much straighter in the wind or behind a box truck on the highway. My axle wrap issue is also reduced a lot.

    If you had the recall done, go check your nuts ASAP!

    Toyotas TIS torque spec for u bolts is said to be like 37ft lbs or something, the guy who made the diagrams meant to write 73ft lbs. Someone was following instructions too good and not using common sense!
