You should ask your dealer to show you the book that has diagrams of
the ABS system. The diagram is really for the V4. However the dealer
showed me where the tank sat, which is on the right side. Hence the
reason why I was feeling the sensation when I mostly turned to the
right.

I also have not found any "official" word of this problem. However
posting the question to the group eased my mind knowing that the
sensation is normal. I laid it to rest in my head. I don't like the
sensation. I wish it would go away, but it won't. Minus that, the car
is great. I love it. It drives like a dream in the snow, believe it or
not.
