Bad problem: i can only fit one dead body in my hatch. Maybe two if I play some tetris

I been having this issue with my 2011 370z nismo. A couple of months ago I been having this problem in The front right suspension when I take a hard left turn the right suspension feels lose or the front tired moves and that side of the car doesn't feel tight compared when I do a right sharp turn at the same speed. I took my car to get align 4 times already and not much of a change. I change my front bushings with spl bushings and I notice the car is tighter but a couple of days the same problem happen again. Another thing when I do a u-turn to the left the front right if the car it hops but the left one doesn't hope when I do a right u-turn. Can anyone give an advice what should I do. Even in the freeway the front right tired it feels that it moves a little to any direction compared with the left and I have to grab the steering wheel with both hands to keep the car in a straight line, specially when there is groves lines in the freeway. Any advice ?

get your car on jack stands, and shake your wheel left and right to see if it shakes loose. what does your alignment specs say. if your toe is TOO close to 0 up front then the car will tend to follow grooves on freeways really easily (kinda turns the wheel for you)

fyi might get better responses in the "brakes & suspension" tech side of forums.

sell it or scrap, too old now.

Loving my 2014 still.

You don't need much power to pass prius's here in Oregon!

A few things:

1) The paint: I paid a lot of $$$ to have a clear bra put on the entire front bumper and entire hood. 3 years later I have maybe 5 rock chips @ 35k miles, and i do a lot of highway driving but try to keep a long following distance and I don't take my sweet time passing trucks (unlike outback drivers!); Invested a ton in good detailing equipment and have developed OCD keeping the car looking new, so the next car will not be a dark color!

2) Tires: Getting rid of the miserable bridgestones transformed the car, but if you drive this car like it's meant to be driven, I'm getting about 18-24 months out of pilot super sport rear tires, but I've not messed with the alignment, but I love the car, and it corners awesome stock for public roads, so not a huge complaint, more of an observation.

3) Windows: Every 30th door closing the drivers side window doesn't do it's normal down/up routine, not sure why, but it's done this since new

4) Rear hatch struts: Mine just started to not go up all the way maybe the last 2-3 inches of movement

5) my BIGGEST annoyance: This car collects more rocks than the Apollo moon missions combined! About every 2-3 weeks I have to get under and bang on the dust shields to remove the rocks or eventually they work themselves out. I do go down an occasional gravel road at a snails pace, but the PSS tires love to pickup rocks and they seem to make their way into the brake area, especially on the drivers side.

Anyone ever fill up their gas tank but the gas gauge doesn't read full? The last led doesn't light up. I clicked the pump a few times to make sure the tank was topped off but it still didn't read. Having a full tank is the best feeling and its disappointing to not see it after leaving the pump.

if you don't look back and admire your car after getting out . you are driving the wrong car..... hard not to look back at the z

Mine does that almost every full up, then after I park and come back to the car the last light is on.

Need new wheel bearing maybe

The biggest problem I'm having is that I can't seem to find a replacement for the Z, maybe a newer one but looks and performance I don't know what to do........my therapist says let it go...

Is ok Kenchan... you can drive the car, you wont believe how awesome it is.

My light must be on strike because it only comes on when it wants to.

Did you get all those alignments done at the same place?

What suspension do you have. What tires and how old/worn are they.

ChaseZ

3.5 with a chainsaw?

Relative to every car I have ever owned this car is problem free and easy as hell to work on....small stupid things I wont even list.
