Front tires jump when fully turned...
I have an 11 GS A6 when i'm in a parking lot and turn the wheels hard right or left to get out of the parking space the vette starts doing a hoping, or jumping action...it also does it when i turn hard trying to get in to a parking space.
I have checked the power steering fluid and it's normal, there are no leaks, the power steering cooler is in tacked.
I don't even get a service light to come on.
I'm that close to take in for warranty work, but i just hate the jack asses that work there...

How about if I use a smaller tire, like a 255/265 tire, since every one says it's the 275/35/18 that are causing the problem...I don't track the vette, I had my alignment shop install a street alignment so I could get more mileage out of my OEM Goodyears. So far so good on the mileage dept...

All 'Vettes do it, it's a combination of tire size and steering geometry. You might try an alignment by a professional shop to dead center of the factory specs (no plus or minus allowed) but even after an alignment you will still have some scrub.

Damn you go figure on a $ 60, 000 Dollar Super car, Chevy's pride for crying out loud, and a ford crown vic turns on a dime with out a hop, jump, or a sqeel. Maybe the c7 has corrected the issue...
seems nothing is good enough, stick with Cavaliers aka GTOs and Crown Vics
