| There is a steering problem on my 2008 toyota tundra sr5 double cab. when driving on a normally crowned( or sloped) road surface, the truck will pull to the right on the right lane, or to the left on the left lane. the local dealer has made multiple adjustments to the front end alignment, has rotated tires, even swapped tires from another truck. the pulling problem persists. toyota district parts & service manager insists that my truck is operating normally. i have taken the truck to 2 local independent alignment shops run by long-time experienced mechanics. they both felt that there was a problem with the rack-and-pinion steering unit. i have tried repeatedly to get toyota to replace the rack-and pinion, they have refused. *tr | |||
