Default Steering correction.. Need Imput Please!

hey whats up guys\girls.. i need some imput here.. i had my car in the shop for some suspension work that needed to be done. well I got my car back today and everything feels fine except for the steering correction, maybe its just me i dunno? you know how when u make a right turn in any car (say 90 degree turn) the steering wheel will automatically correct itself (saying u let the steering wheel go after u made the turn).
Well mine does if i'm driving kind of fast but if i'm driving slow, i have to actually (steer left) after the right turn instead if the steering wheeling spinning back into straight position on its own.
I know i'd know for sure if I drove another Z to compare it to ya know, but thats not available at the current time..
If anyone can help me, it would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Thanks

so your saying its different from before the suspension work?
or it was like that since the day you bought it?

comparing my Z to other cars Z has a pretty tight steering.
its kind of hard to steer on the Z. maybe thats why.

What kind of suspension work? If your alignment is off enough it would do this.

The steering on my Z does not self center very strongly either.

It's been that way since I got the car.

I like it the way it feels.

The Wider the tires the less self-centering you will have.
I'm pretty sure my Roadster self centers just fine.
