Does the Z have a rear toe-steer problem?

except the shortened torque arm creates toe-in on compression. the funky wandering feeling described here (and in many other threads) comes from excessive toe-in.


I can't speak for the G35 for sure, but when I did bump steer measurements on my 370, I started at ~1/16*, and went to ~3/32* at full compression on the rear.


You can hook your Z up to a bump steer gauge if you don't believe me.
