Well, I finally got my car back from the body shop, to make a long story short...some @#$@ hit me on my passenger side and forced me on a center divider...body shop replaced passenger side components, and driver's side wheel bearing.....Anyway, I need to know if my tires sqeeking on right turns is normal? Understeer? I never noticed it before, but then again I wasn't listening out for it(windows open, radio off, etc). Even on slow turns I seem to get the wheels slightly sqeeking....I don't want to take it back if it's normal...please help. Maybe someone local can go for a ride with me and compare their car with mine ....oh, it's a G35 coupe BTW.

Do you mean squeeling tires (ie they are slipping across the road) or the suspension is making noise? Understeer is normal. Might want to double check the alignment.

maybe this is a good excuse to get some Hotchkis sways...they are right down the street from me, but it's actually cheaper to buy from a vendor..

Daniel,
I'm glad you got your car back. That's a tough question to answer, as it really depends on how fast you're taking the turns (as if you didn't already know this).
Did they put tire dresser on? It may be as simple as that, so untill the grease wears away ... it could get a bit slick when hussled a bit. Also verify the tire pressure at all four corners. The surest way to figure is to drive someone else's simliarily equipped G35 or vice versa.
Good luck.
