turning question

ive got about 2000 miles on my new 2002 ex, and i was wondering

I've got a 2002 ex as well and haven't noticed that problem except it seems that the seats don't hold me in tightly. But once you lower it and put a strut bar on it it should help because thats what those products are made to do.

when you turn a corner, the wheel with less weight on it is the one that is moving the car, the other one just spins until you're out of the corner. not the best explanition sorry, but its normal.
