anybody else have the front sway bar hitting on the oil filter?

 

Thank you Hashim!! That's what I needed.

Thank you Jsolo. I've never tracked before. Typically with a decent setup and a very mild turn (almost a straight line with a slight bend), I would imagine applying power into that mild turn would produce a type of centrifugal force which gives me more "grip" if that makes any sense. I'm not studied engineer, but I imagine you wouldn't need to study it on paper to get that "feeling" in the real world. In a medium to sharp turn, absolutely, I understand you would need to ease into the turn and then power your way out of it as you exit the turn. Thanks for the advice brother.

I'm thinking to maybe soften up the rear end then and leave the front sways to the tight setting. I'll start out with that.

 

Yeah you should never accelerate into a corner.

I have an X as well and i have my rear set to the stiffest and the front set lighter. It does oversteer a little, but only if you really give it a lot of throttle.

My understanding is that if you soften the rear and have the front tigher it'll lead to the front understeering. I messed around with the settings and found the rear tighter and front looser works well.

 

Ya, I'd never accelerate into a corner. That's asking for a world of wrecklessness and stupid haha. I just meant that I was taking an on-ramp onto a freeway once, and it was such a mild bend (not a corner by any means), and half way onto the ramp, I started to give it light throttle while holding 3rd gear (prolly 4-5k RPM) and then the car went bonkers LOL. You should always know the limits of any vehicle you drive. That was a learning moment of the limitations of my car for sure. I'm glad I didn't hurt anyone else or myself or my beloved vehicle lol.

 

Was this a AWD X model or a RWD? What settings did you have on your sway bar....I absolutely LOVE cornering with the Hotchkiss bars but want to know what to avoid as I am tending to push the limits here and there....it is a heck of a lot more fun to drive...grown up go-kart for sure.

 

Bro.....

 

Can you tell me how different the car felt on their rear sway bar settings? I just bought a very nice 2012 Infiniti G37 xs, that is extremely twitchy especially when there is a side wind, the front sway bar is set on the loosest hole, and the rear was set on medium in the middle, I switched it all the way to the end, the loosest, and it seems to act worse as being very twitchy with any kind of side wind, any help would be greatly appreciated, recent alignment done, and new Bridgestone potenza 980 AS Plus

 

Can you help me out, I just purchased a 2012 Infiniti g37xs, it came with Hotchkiss sway bars on it and a strut Tower bar, I'm an old guy who just likes to interstate drive, and the car is extremely twitchy with any crosswind, the car has new lower control arms with alignment, and new Bridgestone potenza 980 AS Plus tires. Front sway bar is in the softest setting and rear was in the middle, I switched the rear to the softest and it seem to make it worse, any help would be greatly appreciated
