04's pulling to the right?
 
Was wondering if they were many 04's with alignment issues/tire problems. I saw most were from 03's, and was reading about it in some of the 04 Maxima forums.

Yes, mine was pulling to the right when I drove it off the lot. I took it in and had them check, sure enough it was off pretty bad. When they did the alignment, it had less than 300 miles on it. It is better, but still pulls to the right a bit.

My car pulls slightly to the right.

I have an 04 any my car pulls to the right just a tiny bit, it's almost unnoticable. Actually, I don't think I would have even noticed it, but after reading about the same problem with 03's, it's something that I've made sure to keep an eye on.

I don't see this as a problem yet(*crosses fingers*), almost every car I've had pulled in one direction or another at least slightly.

nope. so far so good. I have no issues with my Z. But I only have 500 miles on it. it might be to soon to tell. I'll keep everyone posted as I put on more miles.

I just got mine back from the dealer today(they had it for 3 days and gave me a loaner) They replaced the Compression rod swapped tires( not replaced) and then scratched my rims and had to repaint them. So far so good. Oh I have 4000 miles on her.

Thanks guys, just noticed that mine is also having a slight pull to the right...bummers.

All cars pull slightly to the right in the US. :D

2004 base , a little to the right.

rands Oct 24, 2003 04:50 PM

my 04 does not pull in any direction, but the tire pressure guage indicates that the right front tire has a little higher pressure than all the others. i wonder if it will pull right once i equalize the pressure.

I think what Ralphus is referring to is that roads are often crowned, meaning they are slightly higher in the center of the road than at the edges. This allows better water run-off and such during heavy rains. However, this crowning tends to make your car pull to the outside of the road.

A way to test if it's your car or the road is to cross over and drive on the other side of the road. Your car should pull slight to the left at that point. Obviously you should be very careful when doing this, as you'll be on the wrong side of the road. :)

No problems here. Straight as an arrow at 100+

This is BS. Nissan should of corrected these problems with the '04s. No excuse

Mine does pull to the right as well.

I just read in November Road and Track Long-Term Test for 350z.
They had the same pulling right issue and an alignment didn't help. They had to replace the right front compression rod and it was covered by warranty...
