Steering feel on NTM Tundra

I'm going to do my best to explain this, but I'll probably just confuse people - here goes.

New to me 2020 Tundra 23k miles.

I've never driven a newer truck, nor have I drove a different Tundra... So no idea if this is normal.

My steering is VERY... Hmm? Touchy? And very little road feel. Does that make sense?

If the steering wheel is moved at all, even a slight bit, I could easily drift quickly over to the next lane. Almost too responsive. I feel like I'm making constant tiny adjustments back and forth to keep it in one lane.

It's like there is no resistance at all, no "road feel" .

Normal? Or does everyone think I'm crazy now.

Ty!

 

Have you checked your tire pressures? It makes a huge difference in the way your truck drives and will respond.

 

Tires? Lift? Anything else not stock?

Alignment would be my first guess.

 

100% stock

 

Right now they are at 33F / 30R like the door sticker says, but after some reading, I was going to do 35 all around.

It doesn't pull or wonder to one side or the other, it's just waaay too responsive and then you need to go back the other way and then back... Like a constant struggle.

 

Alignment. Toe is the likely culprit. Very simple to fix... but for some reason shops tend to screw up Tundra alignments. I guess that is for lifts though, so it's unlikely to be an issue for you. If you are a little bit mechanically inclined you can check and adjust toe yourself.

Any chance this has been in an accident?

 

tire pressure and alignment- Tundras are sensitive to both and you will usually notice if either is out of wack

 

The front passenger side door was replaced after the corner of bumper put a nice crease in it.. But nothing else.

Ill put some air in the tires and have the alignment checked. Ty!

 

If you have a flat place to park, you can do a visual check first. Front and rear tires have identical track width... and since the rears are on a solid axle, they should line up with the front for both toe and camber (vertical tilt). Get the steering wheel facing straight ahead, then site along the side of the front tires to the back. Give it a shot anyway, and see how it looks. Alignments aren't cheap and it's at least good to have an idea if it's needed.

 

Thankfully I have a guy that can check it.... If he has to do adjustments, he will charge me, if not, he will just let me know it's good to go.
