I have had a problem with my 07 Tundra since I have bought the truck. I love the truck, but have had a shimmy in the front in. It is more noticable on older roads (uneven), than on the smoother roads. I took it back to the dealer and they said that it was a balance issue and rebalance the front tires (20"). Needless to say, it is still doing the same thing. Is this a problem that Toyota has had a problem with or can it be fixed?

I was thinking something like that too. Like the "balance" might even be OK, yet a tire could be out-of-round.
