Long time lurker, first time poster. I have had my 07 G35S for a few months and love it. However, tonight after Christmas Eve dinner at Moms house, I noticed a pop/slide sensation in the front wheels as I pulled from the curb. It did this twice as I made my "u" turn in the street. I thought I clipped something with the rear of the car or slid on ice (it is freezing here), but there was nothing to hit and no ice. Does anyone have an explanation or had this happen to them?

 

wheel hop probably, not getting enough traction when turning will do it

 

Thanks ugaexploder, that would seem to make sense.

 

Wheel hop at low speed?

Now that you mention it, I've heard the same thing.

I'm done plenty of hard launches in previous cars and have felt wheel hop. This in no way feels like this, and more so feels like something in the suspension popping with a metalic resonance.

UGA, let me know if we're feeling the same thing.

 

hmm...that's interesting, i might have to try it out

 

awd? maybe an axle joint?
