Hey Roscoe says the above. I am after where the shims might be? I have checked my bearings are good, so I am thinking shims or ball joints.

How hard is it to service or adjust them?

Regards

Chris
I havent really studied the coil sprung models but I cant see it being too hard. I take mine to a shop for these adjustments so its done right
In this list is some manuals for the 80 series which I think has a similar front axle and suspension to yours.
Toyota Workshop & Repair Manuals - Page: 3

Otherwise ,pop the question on Outer Limits 4x4

The steering stabilizer can also cause this. If it has a flat spot like a worn shockie,then it needs replacing. A good stabilzier can hide small problems so you still need the castor checked
