Default Car pulling to the right?

My Z pulls to the right occassionally and I can't figure out why. Does anyone else have this problem, and how did you fix it?

Have you noticed if the road is slanted to the right when it pulls? How is it on the freeway?

This is a fairly common problem and Nissan has a TSB (technical service bulletin) out on it. I'll give it to you here but next time, please do a search since this has been discussed previously.


Nissan TSB number: ntb03046

IF YOU CONFIRM: The vehicle has a tendency for a constant drift to the right on a straight, flat road at highway speeds. NOTE: A vehicle is said to drift, if the vehicle completes a lane change in less than 7 seconds and with no steering correction from the driver and when driving at 60 mph and all four wheels must pass into the other lane during this time (7 seconds) and while driving on a crown-sloped road of less than 1 percent. ACTIONS: Install the right front suspension compression rod from the Parts Information section of this bulletin. See this bulletin for further details.

Take this to your dealer and they will address this issue for you for free.

Just for your info, I had the same issue, my dealer performed the TSB work in one day and the car is fine now. It's free, so I would talk to your dealer about it.
