2019 SR% Prem (269 miles), had dealer swapped the stock wheels for the TRD Wheels on Saturday. I now have a steering wheel shake at 60-65mph.
Is it the tire, bad balance or alignment, all??

Anyone else have a similar shake? For those who swapped to TRD wheels with low miles, did it require an alignment? I know the offset is slightly different as well as being 1/2" narrower.

Action steps
1st - Checked the tire pressure - LF 28, RF 31, LR 30, RR 32 - aired up to 35 on front, 34 rear. Shake is now much less but still noticeable.

Next - will swap wheels front to back to see if shake goes away.

Last - back to dealer for re-balance and alignment?? Thinking the youngster mechanic that did the wheel swap was tired or not so qualified and he maybe my issue!:sniper:

Any other suggestions?

Gotta be the balance. I have them and love them. Go back tomorrow and *****. Let them know about the pressure too that is bs
 
update - went home last night to start # 2 above, started checking the lugs, found a few not as tight as others, took out the torque wrench, read the manual and set it to 76 and started re-torqueing all, made my way to the drivers front and 1 lug snapped off like butter. Not sure if was over torqued during the wheel swap Saturday or just a failure. Called the dealer and it was 5 minutes to closing (6 pm), they said bring it right in. Took it first thing this morning, they said they will take care of it for me, even gave me a loaner. Very happy with the service, hope this was the cause of the shake at 60 mph.
 
honestly, I would check all of the wheels. that can easily cause damage and make the holes out of round.

this really sucks, sorry!
 
Just got the call, truck is ready for pick up, new stud installed. I asked if they did a test drive for the shake, NO SHAKE at 60 was the reply.
I'm so happy this is resolved, a shake and a broken stud at 400 miles is not what I expected from Toyota, I'm coming from Chevy for the last 15 years.
We'll see when I pick it up later, I'm hopeful.
 
Update, can confirm the shake is gone. New wheel stud was installed, all covered and NO charge! I suspect the broken stud was somehow the cause but will never know.
5 stars for the service manager!:lmao:
