Help with steering vibration

I just posted this in the new member thread but I thought I would post it here as well. Bought my 2012 Tundra in May. Had a vibration in the steering wheel when I test drove it and got it up around 55 on the freeway. Made sure I had the dealership put into my contract that they would fix the vibration as a condition of the sale. I'm so glad I did! Here we are 4 months later and they still haven't figured it out. They started with a balance, and alignment. Got a little better but would shake when breaking. Then they replaced the rotors and calipers. Got a bit better for awhile, but it would still shake. Especially when the vehicle was cold. Then they replaced the rims and tires. The truck had 20" after market rims. They replaced with a different set of 20" rims. That made the vibration worse. Checked to make sure the new rims didnt need hub centric rings. They didn't. So they replaced the rack and pinion. That didnt fix it either. They've had the truck for the past 3 weeks, and I'm stuck driving a loaner. Miss the truck, but I want them to get it right. Any thoughts on what the problem might be?

 

Sounds like a combination of problems. Nice doublecab. Most places don't do a road force balance, 'cause it takes extra labor and a competent employee (as well as a higher cost machine). That's the general fix for the resonant vibration around 55-65 mph. As for the braking vibration Sounds like they replaced most of the front end.

Well nice deal with getting them to fix that. I had a bad vibration and it was due the tire shop using balance beads for balancing the tires. Had them removed and road balanced, it fixed my vibration problem. I would ask to see if the tire shop did the same.
