2007 4Runner, Sport Edition, 4WD, 370,000miles.
Recently had two new Toyota OEM lower control arms, new alignment cams/bolts. New CV axle assembly Toyota OEM, part number 37140-60380, which is the newer axle, and shows to be compatible with the 4th gens.
Almost new Michelin LTX Defender 2 tires. I have had the tires in front swapped sides and balanced again, after installation. I have had a new OEM Toyota main drive/propeller shaft installed in the last two weeks, and wobble/pull was happening before this.
I am trying to figure out what could be causing a pull to the left and a steering wheel wobble from 40mph-50mph, with the wobble usually occuring only one time, on the first drive of the day.
I had a trusted mechanic install the parts. All Toyota OEM from Olathe Toyota. I am in East Texas. Actually the mechanic works at an old school frame and alignment shop (Hanks Frank and Wheel in Longview, TX), so I do trust their alignment. But I have also read posts where the 4Runners are tricky when aligning..
I am considering just going to the local Toyota dealer and get their alignment job?
Something that may be important: The CV Axle assembly I had installed was 43430-60083, which I have read where these work in the 4th gens, and this was installed on the left side. It's not the original which I think is 37110-6A440 Just a moment....
Could the pull to the left be because of the CV axle not being the original part number? The axle assembly I had installed is the newer version with the nut where you indent it into the notch on the shaft.
Ideas? Recommendations? Thank you all in advance.
