Default Need help with a freinds vette

My freind went down and bought a used 2005. He has had it for about 2 and half weeks. He sayed he noticed the other day if he turns the wheel all the way to the left and releases the break and goes in a circle the car will have a small jerk to the right ever half of a circle.
I told him my vette has never done this and it does not feel normal.

He was wonder what could be the problem he has the Z51 suspention on it.

Is there any one with a carfax account that can check this corvettes VIN to see if it been in a accident.

I told him to take it back to the dealer and let them know.

There are many posts/threads on this if you do a search. It is completely normal (unless there is something wrong with suspension/alignment). Don't worry about it, but that doesn't mean an occasional check and correction of alignment isn't necessary, it is.

Its more of a cold tire issue than anything else.
