I have a 08x 44000mi stock. Does anyone else feel that their G gets pushed around a lot on windy days while driving on the highway? I'll watch the cars behind when the wind gusts and even if the car is smaller it doesnt seem like it moves as much as mine. Does this mean its time for an alignment? Other then the wind the car stays straight. Or is this just in my head?haha

 

It could be in your head. i get pushed around when i drive on a very windy day. i can feel it pushing but nothing too big.

 

If the other car is smaller it also has less surface area for wind to hit....

different tires...

lots of other variables

havent had it long but so far I feel the wind a lot less in the G than i did in my Jeep

 

haha yeah, I had an Xterra once, it was as aerodynamic as driving a brick wall down a highway! Its way better in the G.

 

the lower your car the less it gets pushed around?

 

They didn't build ship's sails and windmills tall for no reason

 

Could it be the wind or your wheels following the grooves in the road? We will feel it follow grooves more due to the respnsive steering. As far as wind pushing it side to side, I dont feel this very much in my G at all but I'm as low as you can get on Springs. the lower your car the less of a push you feel from the wind.

I remember driving a pre-runner tacoma to AZ from CALI and the wind storms would get pretty bad. I would literally be steering with the wheel turned 45 degrees clockwise just to go straight. Simlar conditions in the G and it was much easier to manage.
