have the following issues on my '05 ZR GT ( 3.3k miles):

- Pulls to the right ( has done this since I drove it home )
- Rear right wheel squeaks when driving. Sounds like the rotor, but the brakes aren't very old.
- Can anyone tell me a way to keep fingerprints off of the trunk lid? LOL, I use the trunk everyday and I hate how my prints end up making it look dirty.

Anyway, I know about the TSB for the pulling right issue, but that was for 2003/04 cars right? Any 2005 owners having the same issue?

 

-It's not always that your alignment or balancing might be off, but you never know. It might be caused by the roads which aren't usually leveled. If it's a lot of pulling, you should have it checked out by a tire shop... Usually they check your balance for free but charge you to fix it. Take it back to the dealer, they should fix it... hoping it's still under warranty... (2005...hmm...yeah)
-The best way I've found to stop incriminating yourself on the trunk lid is use the emblem, pull it half way down with the palm of your hand then use your forearm to shut it.

 

use the emblem to minimize the prints.

i bet your pulling to the right is mostly the crown in the road. there isnt a road out there that doesnt have some sort of crown to it, and with the wide stance of the Z it is very sensitive to the crown.

to test out the car take the car to someplace you know is flat and evenly paved. some parking lot maybe. test it there and also make sure you have enough distance and open space to get some speed up, say 25-30mph. if it still pulls there then you are off on alignment or that compression rod TSB may apply, but you are right, thats only for 03's and maybe 04's

good louck

 

Ive had the pulling to the right problem since ive had my 05 from the beginning too. I had them check the alignment and it was off, but didnt do much good at "factory" specs. I do notice that i only get the pulling during low-mid speeds (30-50mph) and not on the highway. I'm learning to live with it so far but still annoys me.

 

I am getting the pulling while I am in the fast lane. which means it should be pulling to the left if it were caused by crowning.

I thought at first it might be torque from drive train, but that doesn't makes sense that it is pulling this badly.

I am going to have my car serviced at the dealership for the 3.5k service and have them address these concerns. Maybe it is related to the scrapping noise I am hearing from my right rear wheel.
