So for awhile now my rigs on road handling/manners (daily driving) have been deteriorating, to the point that anything i needed to get done which involved me driving my rig to do so ..had to been done and home by 6pm if not it would have to wait for another day. I have become uncomfortable driving in the evening especially the freeway/highway ..which is crazy for me to say and actually for me to felt that way.
Anyone that knows me would be like ..seriously? you?
Cause the handling has gotten so bad i can barely keep it in a lane, im all over the road and look like a drunk driver and in the evening on the freeway it really stuck out, i see people in my mirror either back way off me or merge into other lanes. Driving my rig has become a stressful workout, honestly.
So after many alignments, and replacing parts that were definitely the problem and fix to my issues, each time I had found the answer to my problem ...hahaha after each brainstorm or from asking a couple other buddies their thoughts/opinions and having them drive my rig to feel the handling, the different sounds, the vibration of the steering wheel, the wobble of the tire at certain speeds, the feeling of the driveline beneath the driver seat while dog legging and wandering down the road as if you were a drunk driver.
And already, (you/yourself) having read thus far have already come up with a couple ideas and have thee answer to my multiple issues. Naturally cause thats what we do here on T4R.
Well i can almost guarantee nobody had this as an idea to my problem which i will show you below...
But first and only fair to give you about my rig and how she is handled.
2003 V6 SR5 4spd 2wd T4R
mileage: just broke 300k
sits on 35's
locker in the rear (Spartan)
never seen a mechanic only my two hands,for All its mechanic work and All of its modifications. And not a single issue or major repair ever done or needed ...only daily maintenance and scheduled parts replacement for preventative maintenance. Runs and purrs like day one..
She has been a blessing and my most favorite toyota i have owned...she's a bad mutha f' in beotch..and yes she's 2wd but don't tell her that cause she is driven like she is 4wd and usually will conquer whats asked and put i front her without a flinch. but she will get a twitch when stopping in soft sand.
She is a daily driver and just as much a daily wheeler on the regular. has never broken down or left me stranded, has always gotten me home even if bruised and banged up or with a slight limp ...always home then fixed and pampered.
so Ive given you the issue Ive been having ...told you vie replaced parts and made adjustments in attempts to fix the issues (probably all of the most obvious and first one that come to mind) you should assume and i given you rig info and how she is handled (plays hard with the big boys) and pampered like a pavement princess just as much.
So whats your idea to my problems?
Well myself and others Ive asked none of us had this as a possibility or an answer to my fix..
