    Hello, I’m trying to track down a solution for shakes at highway speeds on my 2016 TRD Pro.


    Here’s what I’ve already done:


    • Installed ESG bushings
    • Put on new tires
    • Wheel balancing and alignment
    • Replaced brake rotors and pads
    • In 2020, replaced broken front coil spring with Dobinson springs (+0.5” lift)


    Any suggestions on what else could be causing the issue?

    Oooh look, another mod.....

    If the tires aren't new, then you probably threw a weight or have damage to a wheel.
    If the tires are new then have them forced balanced or check if one of the tires is out of round.

    I assuming there is no play in the front end arms, knuckles, steering rack, and the wheel bearings are still good?

    How many miles on the vehicle? How many miles on the shocks?

    Are you feeling the shake through the steering wheel only or is it transmitted throughout the car (does a passenger notice it)?
