07 Z33 Steering Issues
Hi all,
So, I don't even know how to ask about the issue I'm having... but whenever I go over the slightest bump, divot, crack, etc in the road I have to fight the steering to stay on track. It's not super aggressive or difficult, but it means it's impossible to not swerve around the lane. When I take my hands off the steering going down the highway, the wheel wobbles and moves about lightly. I could almost compare it to those old racing simimulator games at the arcade, that just throw themselves about when you crash. It seems to particularly favour turning left. Almost like there's no steering dampening or something to that effect?
I've never driven other Z's, but I've also never experienced this issue in any other car before so I can't imagine it's normal.
It's worth noting: don't have any play in my steering, and have an 07 HR model, RH drive (Aussie).
Any ideas on what could be wrong?

^This. There is something very wrong in your steering/suspension, have it looked at ASAP before something breaks. Nobody on the internet can solve this issue, it needs an in-person inspection. Cheers.
