This is hard to explain. I have an 08 Vert with 3800 miles, all stock. When I back out of my driveway when the car is cold (doesnt happen so much once its warmed up) and I crank the wheel either full left or full right to get on my street, the cars front wheels pop and wobble like they want to pop off. Happens in either direction. If I back off of the wheel a tiny bit, it stops. It's almost like the wheels are skipping and its a little aggressive. I do have a factory extended warranty but I wont be able to duplicate the problem once I get it to the dealer because it seems to go away after driving a bit. I have a lift and have looked at all of the rubber boots and ball joints appear to be intact. Any ideas? Thanks!

It's normal. When the rubber is cold the tires don't grip well as you are turning the wheels sharply exiting your driveway. That's exactly why it goes away once you drive the car for a bit. I noticed the same
thing with my 09 vert.
It dawned on me (the answer) when the tires were warmed up and I backed out of my driveway again right after getting home. These are Summer tires and you will notice that it won't happen during the
Summer months. Not to worry!!

Yeah...what he said, I noticed this too in my Vette as well. Normal
