I recently got in an accident. Some a**hole hit me on the front driver's side. I had pretty much the entire suspension assembly on the front driver's side replaced. I got the car back and everything feels good when I'm driving. But at low speeds when turning, the steering wheel does not return back to its position as fast as it used to (like when you accelerate after making a U-turn). The car drives ok but these little things really bother me.

Does anyone know what could be causing this? Misalignment? Powersteering pump? Bent steering rack?

The people at the body shop are morons so maybe you guys can help me out before I take it over there.

thanx

 

For what it's worth...when I had my car realigned (it was pulling right when new), the new settings had the same effect. Wheel did not return to center as quickly. After a few weeks I got used to it though...now I don't even think about it anymore.

 

I had the tire feathering thing... got an alignment from the dealership and the steering was very different... also didn't pop back to center as fast but could tell that the alignment was much better... my Z used to be affected by highway rutts much more. Maybe you're alignment is actually better and that's how it was supposed to be?
