hey guys.....
im the newest of all newbies to the tacoma family... and even more to the the whole truck fam. i used to drive a lowered acura and was into the whole street import scene and have grown up to realize i need a more useful versatile vehicle that can actually get over speed bumps. Well, to make a long story short i recently got a 97 4x4 ext. cab taco and am having a blast driving such a fun truck. next yr i will be building houses out in the ruralest of rural areas in alabama so the truck has become a necesity. i bought it about 2 months ago and recently did a 8hr road trip in it. during the trip i was introduced to an amazing wobble when i go above 75 mph. the truck just starts to sway back and forth. if i go any faster it gets worse, to the point that i must slow down or i will loose control. im almost positive its the shocks, and am ready to replace them (the truck has 72xxx miles on it) but was wondering if anyone could recommend a good replacement shock. a friend with a 4runner that offroads said monroe. what do you guys think? i wont be doing too much offroding, and if any, nothing serious.... my main concern is comfort, and handling ON the road.... and i want something that could get rid of some body roll when turning....and especially at high speeds.. sorry this is so long, and thanks ahead of time
