Wheel alignment or something else?
I recently traded my 2014 2LT C7 in on a 2016 Z06. I am approaching the 500 Mile Oil change time and going to ask about a few weird issues at that time.
The first is serious I do believe. When I turn the wheels to lock the tires jerk when moving ...forward or reverse. Sort of like driving a 4WD on dry pavement or turning with a full locked differential, but appears to be the front tires doing it. This only happens at full lock either direction when moving. Do others notice this? Is it wheel alignment? Normal for very wide tires? I am going to request a front and rear wheel alignment checkup from the dealer.
The second is minor. It appears the the front looking cameras in the single top picture are not converged. I see a double image. Can this be adjusted ...or again normal and others are like this?
Thanks

Not sure about the front camera as I have a 2015 without one; however, the tire issue is normal. Take the turns a little wide and do not crank it over when pulling out of a parking spot or they will "hop" for lack of a better term. Tires are too wide and grippy for that.

All C4, C5 and C6 cars did this as well. C4 was a little less than the newer ones but my 86, 97, 03 and 08 did it. Not an issue.Bill
