    My most favorite of sayings is ( Well its not stock so thats the problem! ) friggen pisses me off . . . Anyways, Are there signs of the brake rotors or brakes rubbing on anything - look for wear marks ( easy identifier ), Are the tires stock ( upgraded or downgraded sizes)?, Truck Lowered? Didja try turning the wheels lock to lock ( left and right "WITH" vehicle weigh to look for binding spots? Heres an easy one are all the grease zerks greased ? Is the stabilizer shock shot ? These are all easy ones, try them out by process of elimination. I know you said it does it when your driving forward, but heres another nail on chalkboard one ( when you back up and turn the wheels - the groan stopper bolt ( suppose to have a plastic cap on it - can sometimes bring a tune to your ears if the caps worn or missing, and I know most all of us toyota fans have heard that one before. FYI, most ( not all ) mechanics dont know what anything is or could be UNTIL " You bring it in and they have a look at it " $ $ $ . . . Save yourself the pain and get some grease on your hands and itll slap ya in the face, it always does . . . GL man, let us know how it goes!
