I had the car track aligned just after the repairs were made.

Now the car seems to have a "delay" while turning. My first instinct is that something is moving while turning. The front cradle was dropped during the repairs.

One thing that was brought up was the camber change.
It drives straight on the road, but doesnt feel confidence inspiring.
They will go over all the bolts tomorrow to make sure everything is tight.

Has anyone noticed odd steering after a track alignment?

IMO, these cars are very sensitive to toe settings. What toe setting was used?

I went back to zero toe front and rear, while not best for tire wear, a much easier car to drive.

I havent yet seen the report. The alignment shop was closed when I picked up the car.
I should be able to get it tomorrow and report back.

More negative camber will increase tramlining and increase sensitivity to road texture & contours. So some change should be expected. Tires can have an impact on this.

If toe is excessive (in or out) then you could get some odd steering behavior.

This is the report for the alignment.
Let me know what you think.

Any idea on the before TOE measurements? If it was toed out and you got used to that and now it's inspec, that might account for how it feels to you now.

The front cradle was dropped before it went to the alignment shop.
It was whatever the car was delivered with, any before results they got would not be what it was driven with.


Right this second I would say my 4x4 tundra has better steering response and road feel.
At freeway speeds if you turn the wheel to the right a little than turn back straight it seems to delay between the turn and the car moving.
When the car comes back it feels like the car is bouncing left / right.

what has been done:
front engine / suspension cradle dropped, re-installed.
coilover top mounts turned 180
track alignment
