The inner tie-rod end on the passenger side was very loose. This allowed the wheel to move freely about 1.5 inches at the perimeter in each direction. The part was replaced in August (I think) and yesterday I noticed the problem again, not as bad, only 0.5 inches of travel. The front disk brakes caused a severe shudder that hampered my control over the vehicle at a moderate deceleration. The rotors have been replaced twice, and now it only vibrates mildly, although I am sure that the problem will return if its already vibrating. While walking around the dealership I noticed a box full of Tacoma rotors, a problem maybe?
