ALIGNMENT UPDATE GUY'S

Well I hope NOBODY gets disappointed but I have had the new tires and new alignment settings done and now in the process of suing Nissan. The car handles badly Nissan has now created another problem stiff stearing wheel dosen't return to center properly after sharpe turns, in a parking lot with stearing wheel turn fullly to left or right car DOES NOT PULL OUT OF TURN IT KEEPS GOING AROUND & AROUND WITH NO HANDS ON THE WHEEL?????? The Ontario Rep was with me in the car for a tests drive and his remarks were well this sort of sports car will handle this way. Where did Nissan get this guy from?
Nissan has to repond today according to my Lawyer, will post the out come as it becomes available.

If anybody feels that their car is not handling properly with the new setting post on board and make sure you contact Nissan the more we report this problem the quicker they well correct the problem.

No offense, but who cares if the wheel doesn't return past lock. Actually, I can't think of a single car that would. It's not steering for you. If the angle of the wheels and the movement of the car are enough force to keep the wheels to the left, which I can see, they stay at full lock.

Use your hands?

 

Your alignment sounds really F'd up now. It should always return to center when you let go. This isn't some AutoTopia car where the steering stays locked.

 

Obviously you didn't read the car is really fun in a parking garage.

 

Unless the wheels are physically hard to move by had...no car centers by itself. The reason is the force on the wheels causes it to center. So if you're going slow and the angle of the wheels is now to a point where the force is trying to turn the wheel instead of moving back toward center then it will stick.

Simply turn the wheel and make the wheels go back to straight.

 

Beer Gogglez, no offense here either, but IMHO, unlike a watercraft, a well-balanced car should always center itself when in forward motion, whether you're in a parking lot or on the freeway. Ever drive one of those 60's era sedans where the power steering was so over compensated and the steering wheel so light that, although very easy to turn, there was absolutely no steering feedback and you couldn't judge the dynamics of the vehicle. Steering feel is one of the ways the car communitaces to you what it's doing and what it's about to do. Now a jet ski is different - it should go is circles by itself in case you happen to fall off of it, and you don't want it to run away! LOL.

Vin, you're not alone. I recall the first time I took mine in for the feathering problem the service manager's comment was: "Well this is a high-performance automobile. this is to be expected". I know. What a j--- a--!
