Default Z is pulling to the right

Ive noticed that some of the time my Z is pulling slightly to the right when driving, only have 1000 miles on it. I've heard others say they have this problem, maybe the alignment is off from the factory?

There is a TSB for this, if it does a complete lane change in 7 sec then bring it in for that. On mine they replaced the right compression rod (I think that's what it was)

Well I guess I can't post the link because of the "source". PM me with your email and I'll send it to you.

I had that problem. Dealer added something to the front right A-arm to bring the front wheel forward more and back into spec's.

been fine for a while now but mine is an 03.

Mine had the right pull problem. It would complete change lanes in less than 6 seconds on a road with less than a 1% side grade. The replaced the right front compression rod in my car. It's been fine since.

If you are on a road that has a crown on it, it is normal for the car to drift slightly to the right. You will probably notice it most when you start slowing down or braking because there is less drive force keeping you straight.

yeah I am looking forward to what they have to say. Even if I am on the left side of the road and let go, it moves over into the other lane w/in about 4-6 seconds. They better do something about it.

BTW- I am not complaining, I am not going to sell my car, I love my car. I know how some people can get on here when you say something is wrong with your car.
