Caster/ camber


Hey vq fam. I have a 2004 g35 coupe and it is 1 1/2 lower than stock hight with 20mm wheel spacers. Recently I replaced my lower control arms and now I have a problem with my steering. When pulling out of my parking space I turn my steering wheel right, as I give it gas my steering continues to turn right and does not center itself, it happens both left and right. My instructor suggested that it might have something to do with my caster and or camber. Is there any real way to adjust stock parts for caster? What will happen if I drive with it for a while? Will I need to buy adjustable parts? Has anyone else experience this problem?

sorry for the confusion but I reverse into my parking space. So it’s when I’m driving forward it happens

Have you had any other issues with the car since the arms were replaced? Are the VDC, slip or brake warning lights on in the instrument cluster? How long have you had the car? It sounds like an alignment issue, do you know if the car has had an alignment recently? Give us more info to work with, it'll help us be more specific with answers.
