When I first got my Z the alignment was fine. By 3000 miles the car was pulling way to the right. So when I had my oil changed at Nissan I asked for an alignment (should have asked why I needed one at only 3000 miles). The car had the same alignment problem leaving the dealership but I was late to an appointment so I just left. A buddy of mine said "the springs just need to break in". So I guess I kind of believed him so I let it go. I'm sitting at almost 7000 miles and the car still pulls to the right. Is this normal? Time for some warranty work? I travel so much for work that the only day I could possibly take it in is on a Saturday but that kills my whole day.

 

What year is your z?

 

OH. Sorry. Its a 2005. I just got it in late June.

 

Adjustments can be made if the car if the car is pulling to one side, but I’m not certain if its a warranty fix. Generally, adjustments are NOT covered by warranty.

 

I have EXACTLY same problem as you do.
Mines a 05 and at 7000miles. Been to the dealer for allignment twice.
It's still pulling to the right. Time to call NNA...

 

2005 also but mine just started after I got springs and new tires and rims... did any of you do things like that?? Those mods are what is probably causing it if you did

 

No suspension/wheel mods of any kind. I was going to do that once my factory rubber wears down.

 

2005 here...after i dropped my car it was still fine..as soon as i put on brand new 19" wheels and tires....drift to the right...got alignment and still drifts.... what gives?

 

better then drifting to the left!!!

Mine goes to the right too, but i have springs, 20's and new camber arms. I need to get it aligned.

 

If the alignment figures are okay the next thing to check are the tires. If the pull still exist after swapping tires from left to right then the car its the problem. I personally think its the tires.

visionboy this maybe your problem. Go back to where you got your wheels and tires and try the swap or get a different set of tires.

Good luck

 

You cannot swap OEM tires from left to right. The tires have a arrow on them and that signifies just one way!!! lol

 

if your car has the original tires on and its been pulling to the right (or left)from day one....i would say one of your front tires is defective. Believe me....defective tire......this is more common than you think. I doubt very much the alignment is off.

 

I too have an 05 and my car pulls to the right. It has since I drove off the lot. I took it to the dealer and they said it was the tire and replaced the right front tire at 3000 miles. It still pulls to the right, but not nearly as bad. I am taking it in next week to have them look at it again. Sounds like this is a bigger problem than they (Nissan) care to reveal!

 

I have an 05 at ab out 6000 miles and no problem yet and hope I dont have one.

 

There is a TSB for right pull that involves some suspension/steeing part replacement, I dont know the link but its there. You should get this fixed under warranty.

 

I guess what I ment was if you have non OEM tires and they were not directional then you could swap them or change then out for different tires all together. I still say it may be a tire problem. I remmember something about a rod being bent during shipping but that was quite awhile back. Hope this helps.

 

You can swap directional tires unless they are also asymmetrical but they must be removed from the wheels.
