| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 toyota tundra four wheel drive. I have increased steering effort in the steering and my tires have excessive wear on the outside. The tires have no thread on the outside. I only have a little over 18,000 miles on it. I have had it aligned and it hasn't done any good. I have taken it to the dealership as well as written toyota themselves. The toyota corporation said that there is a recall. The dealership itself said that it is not part of the recall on the ball joints and lower suspension. They want do anything about it. *nm |
