I think I have a problem with possibly the cv drive or trans ... I am driving down the street accelerating and as the trans shifts....the car pulls to the right all of a sudden with no input to the steering wheel....also as I was taking a left curve the car got into an over steer situation ( the car just jumped over the line as if I gave it a quick pull to the left or if something shifted in the suspension) and almost lost it but I corrected just in time to avoid a head on collision with an on coming car. I am a first time owner of a 96 I30 with 175,000 miles....I just put some new Nexen's 215/55 16's so it wasnt the rubber...any help is appreiciatedthanks in advance for the helpBishopXM

Sounds like the same problem Greg is having with his G20...I'm not sure what would cause this, but I suspect it's suspension related. May be CV joints like you suggest...

Could be one of the bushings that give you lateral support.
