Especially when we remove the anti-sway bars...lol.
It probably has very little effect also because if our relatively low caster angle.
I did however notice quite a bit of movement when. I was doing my alignment and did the caster swing. First thing I noticed was the height change of the body. Then I actually did the calcs and realized I was over 7° caster on that side. Much less movement noted once caster was dialed down into the 4.5° range.
My scrub radius is also crazy huge.
Crazy how much one thing (such as scrub radius) can effect/exaggerate other parts of the suspension geometry.

And the tacoma suspension increases caster as the suspension compresses, so the negative jacking effect is even worse.

That calculator is for a McPherson strut suspension, not a double wishbone.

Your Scrub is based on the difference between the center line of the tire and the king-pin. The King Pin is the line connecting your upper and lower ball joints.
