Tire "Road shock" problems?
Well, I am back again. I have a '99 Taco with BF AT KO 265/75 16's on Toyota Alloy rims, switched from Bigfoots on American racing black rims. Whenever I run over a bump of any size my steering wheel vibrates back and forth for about 2-3 seconds. This happens at any speed. If I am on a road that is very smooth, everything is fine all the way up to 85 mph. I don't see how it could be a balance problem since it will not vibrate at all on a smooth road. I have been told it is "road shock" and it is normal. I have also been told that Tacos are "very sensitive" and you should not put anything but factory size tires on them. Anyone have a more reasonable explanation. Thanks.

As stated, the Tacoma does not have a steering stabilizer.
You can get your rack checked out by getting a wheel alignment, which I would strongly suggest to eliminate any worn suspension parts as causing your problem.
