My '94 Q45 seems to be under steering. While driving in a straight line my steering wheel is on center. Then I will enter a curve to the left and it will under steer for a while then at a point it seems the steering will catch. Once I exit the curve going straight, I notice that the original 12 o'clock position on the steering wheel is now at 10 o'clock. afterwards, if I enter another left hand curve, It does not under steer, but if I enter a right hand curve after the left hand curve then it under steers and the steering wheel returns from 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock. This does not happen when the steering wheel is centered and I turn right. I do hear squeaking from the right front suspension. I also need front and rear struts. Fronts are in terrible shape. Pleas help.

One thing at a time! This is a good place to start. Might have your upper links examined also. An experieinced Infiniti technician can adjust the steering rack. it might be worn because of the extra stress of the worn out supension.

How is the PS fluid? Might consider a flush while you're at it.
