Just bought a '91 300ZX which has a slight drift to the right. After learning that these cars have no factory adjustable caster I'm wondering what your thoughts are as far as fixing this problem. The alignment shop thought the car was possibly tapped in the front but there's no indication of it and I'm not really concerned about the cause anyway. Since this is no race car for me, no project car, just my everyday car that just happens to be an awesome car with a slight drift to the right, I'm willing to live with this imperfection. If, however, I can fix it without spending a bucketload of money, that would be great. Does anyone know of an aftermarket fix for, say, under $300?Thanks for your help...Jim

Welcome to NICO!

You want to pick up a set of adjustable tension rods to alter your caster up front. The caster being off is a common problem. The adjustable units can be had for under $200. I highly recommend http://www.splparts.com for a set.

Best of luck and feel free to come around for any of your 300zx questions
