Hi Guys,

I have my 2021 supra lowered on HKS springs to no wheel gap on stock wheels with PS4s tires on stock tire size. Since I lowered the car I noticed that the steering feels uneven when driving the highway and I can give a few examples of it.

  • When turning against the crown the highway, steering wheels like there is detent
  • Car often feels like it wants to pull a different direction from where the steering wheel is
  • After completing a turn and moving the wheel back to the center there is often uneven resistance and the wheel just doesn't feel right

Got an 3 alignments recently and retightened the front sway bar and nothing seems to be helping. Front toe is 0 with 2 degrees of camber and the rear has a total toe of .38 with 2 degrees of camber as well. Looked in bumpsteer and it seems like that's my issue so I was thinking about buying the SPL tire tod ends and then getting an alignment afterwards. Has anyone had a similar experience or know if the tire rod ends will fix my issue? Can attach pics if needed.

Thanks Guys!

Honestly same set up on my 23, and it does it a good bit as well, its just kinda how these cars feel, both my supra's had pretty meh steering, not one of the strong suits, it always feels like it kinda wallows or very dead on center, and kinda has sway, especially under full throttle.

You don't have lane assist on and changing lanes/turning without using your turn signals, correct?

I have a lane assistant off, only collision prevention and the blind spot monitor.

I need assistance on this as well. Im in AZ its like some roads are smooth but others... When the wheel is straight the first 10 degrees or so to the left or right is like it jumps to 10 degrees from straight. Then the rest of the turn is smooth...

Seems like it's a normal thing. I got new tires, plus alignment and the car still does this.
