I just got my new yota and there's a few things I need to try and fix, when I'm driving the steering has play in it, and it shakes a little. The truck doesn't have power steering and it isn't so bad that o can't drive it but I would like some advise of what I can do to get it driving good again. The tires or brand new so I really don't think it's nothing with the tires, if there's some things I can replace under there let me know or what I should do. Also I know these ol trucks don't have great suspension but I think mine is in bad shape, what kind of suspension should I get and is there some things I can change out to help. Im new to the yota world and just need a lil help gettin her back in good shape thanks

 

tighten up your steering box.

 

Drag link has adjustments on each end . The end plugs adjust If you pull the cotter pins out .

crap .. sorry , pic isnt working


.

 

So just doing the little adjustments will help the play in the steering and the shaken, so getting new parts is not something I should do

 

well I would certinally try the adjustments first absolutly help with the "play" .. The Cups will wear if not greased , so who knows the previous history ?

Do you think my leaf springs should be changed when I by shocks to help out or what

 

X2 on Wolf's and Slacker's comments. I had a similar problem with loose steering a wondering and that fixed it.

 

I have so many problems with the truck that needs fixin and don't have the time because of work another thing when I get up to around 60mph the truck is very very loud and is vibrating pretty bad and I have no idea if it could be the exhaust, drive shaft or what any ideas would help I want this yota running good

 

ship it to us ...
we will do a complete restoration .. you'll have a "better then new" truck ..
it only costs money

Tie Rods and spring bushings do wonders along with the previously mentioned adjustments.

best steering improvement I made was converting to high steer..

 

What exactly is the high steer and is it a do at home job
