    Hi all,
    I’m new on this but have owned 3 T4R. An 03,15 and now a 18 TRD Pro.
    I’m having a lot of issues. I had a knocking noise in my front end, took it to the dealer and they found a broken coil spring. Truck has 25k on it. Out of warranty in Sept. They told me that Toyota had no 2018 springs I would have to put on a 2020 spring. At first I was ok fine do whatever then they told me they were completely different parts so after a lot of drama they agreed to replace both. Great they did the job. On the way home my steering wheel was wobbling like crazy. I turned around back to the dealer where they said I had warped rotors. More drama they said they would put new rotors and pads on. For sure they just cut them but whatever. So jump in the truck driving home steering wheel starts the shimmy when I went over 60. Next day back to the dealer they kept it 2 days to tell me that the tires are chopped come get it. Well chopped tires are obviously caused by loose, broken suspension parts.
    Any one else having these issues. I apologize if there has already been lots of comment on this I’m new. Happy to be on the forum. Thanks!

    I don't think many have broken springs but I'd bet during tire rotation a impact was used and cause rotor warpage. But suddenly warped after they touched the suspension is kinda fishy.

    It’s weird I had no wobble till springs were replaced. Think impact just during taking the wheels off?

    I guarantee most use impacts to put the lugs back on and call it a day.

    Some use a torque wrench after using the impact which is pointless.
