    22 Platinum 2wd I have a rattle/ vibration in the steering. Not tires. If anybody remembers the steering shaft issues of the Chevys in the early 2000's. Same issue just less "noisey". Had to the dealer twice..... "We will put in a ticket to Toyota."
    Anybody with this steering issue?
    Have new wheels and tires and the westcott "lift".

    I have dealt with steering wheel vibration several times on my 2017. May be worth it to make sure wheels are balanced - if that doesn't fix it my next step would be to take it to a good alignment shop. Hopefully that'll do it. Good luck.

    These tundras are the worst trucks I have ever seen, I haven’t had time to enjoy it cause I deal with rattle issues, wind noises, whistles…. Just insane.

    I have something that sounds similar. Mostly at slow speeds. Feels like something not tight in the steering linkage, or maybe loose suspension. Tried without lane assist, lug nuts are tight. No slop in the steering. Doesn’t make any noise, but can certainly be felt in the steering wheel. OP, did you figure out what it was? I have a feeling it’s gonna be a ‘could not duplicate’ or ‘they all do that’ if I take it in.

    I've got the A-pillar rattle (although I swear it sounds like it's the weatherstripping between the A and B pillars), but I just drove 1100 miles in temps ranging from 45 to -9° F, a lot of it on crappy, potholed highways, a lot of snow, and a bit of compacted snow, and ice. The truck rattled a shit ton because the driving surface was terrible, but I haven't picked up any new interior rattles. I also got 20 mpg (hand calculated with gps) at 78mph over a 526 mile stretch with close to 40k feet of elevation change. I expect wind noise when I'm driving nearly 80 mph with mountain winds, otherwise, the engine produced, IMO, a comfortable hum at ~1800 rpm.

    I haven't had a Tundra since my '03, but I'm really starting to like this truck.
