it was a bigger problem on earlier models 03's and 04's, mainly caused by improper toe adjustment. Toe is the only adjustment that can be made on the front suspension...

Yeah, I heard it can be fixed on the '03 and 04's. Lucky for you, you have an '05.. I don't believe '05's have any tire feathering problems whatsoever. I have an '05 with 20k miles on it and no problems yet.

Sahn,
Your car will be fine. Get in it and drive it like you stole it (safely, of course ) Welcome to the forums.

=D i got 05 back in Jan. NOO problem what so ever.. only thing i had was brake screeching.. happens to ALOT of Zs.. and window air leak.. but nissan took care of it! I really think that, picking a Z, you should REALLY focus on 1) of course the car.. and 2) a GOOOD DEALER!!!

What's up Sahn, I see you're from SD?

If you have an warranty work needed, go to the Mossy Nissans....

I got my Z from Pacific but still take it to Mossy whenever I need anything.
