Need to run something by you all. Last two times I drove my Z, when turning tight at low speed, I get this awful beating sound until I straighten the wheel. It happened turning out of my driveway this morning, and turning in a parking lot on Monday, both times it was very cold out. I'm on OEM summer tires. My Z is all stock (2011 with sport package). Anybody know what's going on here?

Sounds like it's just due to the hard rubber of the summer tires in the cold weather. They will scoot or skid across the ground when turing and make that sound you describe.

Yep, that's it for sure. I did some slow tight turns in a parking lot the other day when it was 46 degrees and no clunking at all. My tires were warm from the drive home, too. It's weird I never noticed it in previous years...maybe I never drove it when it was this cold.

Took a few pics when it was warm out.
