Uh, ya. I know you haven't been around for long, but there's been numerous posts about this. No fix that anyone can find.

rcruise... do you have any mods on the suspension? If you add a FSTB, RSTB, RSB and the Blehm mod you will have a Max that can turn on a dime... especially if you do springs and struts as well (or coilovers)...

Those don't change turning radius... you'll still turn at the same radius, only you can do it faster and tighter...

Yea, my K-turns actually look like W turns and my GF laughs at me everytime I try to swing into a parking spot. I have to stop, back up and try again. Oh well, at least my Maxima can smoke her Ford Focus on a straightaway.

Sometimes I feel like Austin Powers when he goes back and forth but still isn't getting anywhere I'm sure someone knows what I'm talking about
