Thanks, I'll try that. Its much easier than caster and hopefully does the trick. I do have a rear sway bar installed from TRD and it gave me much more stability (and a great handling beast of a car) but I'm still not satisfied with the tracking.

OK not that I want to jump onboard, but same issue here... ordered a swaybar to help I hope it does... if not springs... It is affected by the wind a lot, but still at higher speeds 80 or so I need to slow down to keep her straight..... it's constant attention has caused my wife to blacklist the car and she won't drive it or allow my son in it...... my own issues in life with only 2600 miles on the car....

+1 for what loren said. After lowering my car it gave me a bit of toe in. My car tracked strait as a arrow. After having an alignment done my car tends to wander just a tad on freeways. Have to pay attention more when im driving. But the tradeoff is it handles so much better on the corners now its worth it.

So take your case just have it aligned to have a bit of toe in and it will correct your issues. If not atleast make it substantially better. Our cars do get tend to be knocked around a bit with high winds at freeway speeds since they are so small and lightweight with a short wheel base.
