Shake when Towing
For some reason when I'm towing my racecar, my '00 Tundra 4x4 TRD feels like it has a wheel out of balance. The whole truck get a little shake going on from about 45-70mph. I had the tires re-balanced and the truck aligned, because the tires were showing some signs of cupping. However, I'm not real convinced my Toyota dealer actually did an alignment, because the rusted-up alignment bolts didn't look like they had been touched. With the torque they they need to break lose & set, they should have had some wrench marking on them. And, yes I did address this with them. Anyway, the tires have also been rotated and the truck still has this shake going on. The car & trailer are about 4300# and we have about 300-400 in the bed. The trailer tires have not been balanced, a tire shop I spoke with said it wasn't necessary, but I gotta do something about this. I'll be towing 7-hrs up to Watkins Glen at the end of the month and I don't think I can deal with it for that long. So is this a truck alignment issue, trailer tire balance issue or a trailer load issue? I think it's a truck alignment issue... Any thoughts or suggestions
