Oh if only it is that simple! If you find something let us know!

Sad to see so many posts in this thread. Toyota refused to do anything for me, saying everything was at spec. Took another road trip this past weekend and had to be careful not to sneeze while driving! My wife's Camry has much better steering at high speed.

The dealer flat out refused to make the castor change. They checked it and said it was within spec, so no issue. Didn't seem to care about the safety issue.

I see replies in this thread saying tires made a big difference and others saying they made no difference. Any tires you would recommend that would be good in snow and also firm up the steering?

Not looking too good at this point. The dealer is going to check the alignment. They have refused to make any adjustments if the t4r is within spec. Sucks. Tires may be next.

When I checked my tire pressure it was low. So it got worse when I filled them to 32 psi. Going to the dealer tomorrow. Will try my luck.

I have Dunlop tires on my TE. Based on the replies here they may be part of the issue. Good to know i am not alone about not liking how sensitive the steering is.

Well checked the tire pressure and it was 2 psi low in each tire. So much for the easy solution.

Exactly the experience I have had. It is always worse in windy conditions.

I'm scheduled for an oil changd in a couple weeks and i will talk to the dealer about getting the caster changed. Thanks for the suggestion! On two of my recent trips I let my wife drive. She was constantly overcorrecting the wheel to stay in her lane. It was like being in a bumper car.

Good point, it's worth double checking.

Got a Camry SE which has much firmer steering. This is my 2nd 4runner, this is much touchier than my previous one. Owned a number of trucks previously. The steering doesn't change from when i am in a parking lot to when i am driving on the highway.

Been on a number of long road trips recently and am finding that my TE's steering is very sensitive at high speeds (70 or higher). Most of the vehicles i have owned have speed sensitive steering. My TE doesn't seem to have this. Steering wheel resistance doesn't increase with speed. Sneezing...

In spite of this bad situation you still have a sense if humor - an excellent one at that! Thanks for the great laugh!

I have a 2 month old TE with 2k miles and have not heard anything like you describe. I am assuming you don't have it in 4wd.
