Default Help! Can someone advise please

hey whats up guys\girls.. i need some imput here.. i had my car in the shop for some suspension work that need 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

know exactly what you mean. had that problem in the 350z, where the steering wheel wouldn't center properly after turning right (but does so whiel turning left) don't know what it was, as i lived with it. i have a hint of that in my g35, probably in my head, but at least i don't have to continually compensate to the right on the highway like i did on the Z.

Toe-In makes the car 'return to center' as I understand it. If you have a car that wants to 'wander' when on a flat, smooth, straight, non-crowned roadway, toeing in the fronts tends to help make it run straight.

I think...
