I also would like to know this. Have been looking all over the internet, and asked toyota and arb directly. No one seems to know. I would rather not do the e-locker as it seems like it requires hardware store plastic parts. I question the longevity of a mod held together by electrical tape...

Metal Tech - little column a little column b Picked up metal tech (not opor) sliders. Really like the look. The install was pretty straightforward. Wish I had known about them suing Demello though. I'll never buy any again because of that alone. They do look damn sexy though.

I've owned Hondas, Nissans, Subarus and many Toyotas and I have never had a vehicle this sensitive to "flat spots". I've never had a company fight me so hard to replace something that was so clearly a manufacturing defect. Is that TSB actually for toyota? Because they said there wasn't one...

If it's so real, then why doesn't it happen with every other vehicle out there? Look, I'm happy that you aren't having issues but please don't distract from our efforts to get to the bottom of it. If you have something constructive to add, by all means chime in. Otherwise shut it.

Toyota Quality is not what it used to be I'm sorry you're going through this too. It is beyond frustrating, especially considering toyota's reputation for quality. I wish I had bought a JK, GK or xTerra. You may be able to get out of the vehicle depending on the lemon laws in your state. I...

Who knows This is all in my previous posts on the thread, but the only fix I found was replacing the funky preload spring in the steering rack. It seems like others have had the problem and had it resolved by road force balancing. I went through multiple balancing exercises, even had the...

Stevenson West. It was a culmination of many many trips though and multiple tires balancing experiences. Ultimately I had to drive with a Toyota Field service rep before they would agree to cover it, but the rep recommended Stevenson. Hoping that it's a little easier if the ball joint UCA is...

Update after steering rack replaced Finally got Toyota to replace the steering rack. Night and day difference. I now have what feels like a loose ball joint or linkage but no more steering wobble. Thank all that is holy. :cool:

Still happening. Toyota quality is a myth. Vehicle went back again. "New" tires and another wheel balance. Still has the problem. Maybe even worse. Super disappointed with Toyota. Should have bought a Jeep.

Update Mine has been in the shop for a day now. They are "trying to make a determination" as to what is wrong. Wondering the answer to this question as well as it seems that Toyota, unlike Lexus, won't take ownership of the problem.

Same Issue Do you have the specific items they replaced? Just bought a used certified 2011 TE. Shimmy is there on brand new tires. Took it to the dealership yesterday, they balanced the tires and told me I was good to go. Got it out on the interstate and immediately the symptoms returned...
