problem #2

Jul 292007

Tundra 4WD 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 38,000 miles
I was driving to my local mcdonald's drive through and I felt something unusual on my steering wheel. I got out and checked near front suspension and I found out that the tie rod on the right side is broken/disconnected. I was fortunate enough not to experience this broken tie rod on highway.

problem #1

Feb 062005

Tundra 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 24,000 miles
I drove off the highway and it felt like the truck was steering itself. I had this steering problem since it was new- dealer said it was tire balance and later shocks- but " we won't throw parts at it"- a independent shop replaced the tie rod and the steering veering off stopped. The problem was noticeable when I was driving and going around curves- the truck was hard to control- shook and needed steering help.
