Truck 'wanders' and won't track straight without continuous correction with the steering wheel. Especially bad when hitting bumps or on 'rain grooves' or other uneven surfaces. Difficult to maintain lane discipline and especially scary in construction zones with narrow lanes and concrete dividers nearby. Had front end aligned (no help), new tires put on (no help), new shocks installed (no help), tires balanced (nicer ride, but still 'wandered'), front end aligned again (minor improvement) and finally some new tires (again. . . No help. ) there is 'play' in the steering wheel and there is a recall and a TSB from Toyota for this year and model truck for 'worn lower ball joints'. But when inquiring with two different dealers, I was told both times that "my" truck was not affected. It sure feels affected!.
