Post outer tie-rod replacement & Alignment issues

I have a 2018 Crewmax with a 6" ProComp Lift running 37x12.5x20 inch tires. Background: When i bought the truck 2 years ago there was no issues the truck has been awesome. I had the outer tie-rods replaced from a local shop that does pro-comp lifts. Lifts installed, no issues. However, they claimed they couldn't get the alignment right and that it still drifted to the right. I took it to another local shop, another that specializes in lifts. They found the prior shop didn't tighten the alignment cam bolts and that the turn stops were worn. Tightened those up, aligned and everything is in spec at this point. They check again after 250 miles, bolts still tight, alignment in spec. Issue Now: When making a hard turn right or left the front wheels seem to slip or be out of sync. When driving in reverse and turning the wheel hard right the front drivers side tires now will occasionally, not always, rub the bumper which it has never done before. Anyone have any ideas?

 

I’m not an alignment’s professional

however during my years of browsing the tundra forum i have come to learn that “in the green specs “ does not mean it’s aligned properly

Also on second topic,regarding large wheels/tires/lifts which add more stress than a stock rig…..how are your steering rack bushings??

 

I'm sure someone with 37's will chime in, but depending on how much caster you have, the wheel moves forward/back within the wheel well. There is a chance it's simply this.

"In spec" means very different things to different people, so if you are asking anyone to help with your specific numbers, you'll need to post them. You'll want to share the backspacing of those wheels, too (if you know it).

Otherwise, shims for the front bumper and some cutting/bending for the skid plates (assume you're also rubbing there?). Neither of these are uncommon, even for tall 33s and 34s.

Good luck and welcome

 

Some of these 6” lifts with new knuckles have issues with scrub radius changes and put a lot of stress on outer tie rods.

 

Here’s one about the BDS lifts that just a few threads down from this one RN

Here are the specs from the alignment post new outer tie rods

 

Its the caster. I've found that if I specify at least 3 degree caster and matching sides, it seems alignments get magically easier
