I notice the steering shake/ jerk when driving over a bumpy road. Other than that it drives fine. Anyone?
Steering wheel shake.

You may be thinking “well your driving on a bumpy road”. I’ve have trucks before and it’s not normal. You can definitely feel it in the steering wheel.

Control arm bushings? Loose struts? It's gotta be something that supports the wheel that has failed and the steering rack is taking the stress.

The Tires I have are standard size for the Tacoma. I just put AT tires on. I feel it most on a dirt road/driveway.

Did it start with the A/T tires or before?

Might also be your wheel bearings. When you lift the truck, grab the wheel and see if you can wiggle it / tilt it in and out.

Mine does it because I have bigger tires with spacers. It follows the crown in the road. Other than that I'm fine. I'm not complaining one bit.

That my where my vibration/ steering issues started. When I made the leap from k01 to k02's. Still trying to figure out how to fix it

Go back to the tire store and explain what happened when you switched tires. You may have received a bad tire or at least you may get an answer to what is going on.
