I test drove some 2004.5 350z touring today and the car pulled to the right.

This car had 20" wheels on it and it was flush and clean...

What issue could cause the car to pull to the right?
Would a minor alignment fix this?

Does this have anything to do with the feathering issue?

I dont hear any weird noise at low speeds and mine was built on 3/2004

carfax is clean w/ 1 owner and 19k miles...

Any suggestions?

 

pretty normal. especially with those wheels and size tires. just the crown in the road. the early Z's, meaning the 03's had a rod issue on the front causing some pull but every Z, or rather every sports car with the low profile will pull to the right because of the road crown. the wider fatter tires just accentuate it. over the winter i had my narrow snow tires on and no pull. in the last month i put on my 19" rims and the pull to the right is back.

to be sure, take the car to a parking lot, somewhere you know is flat and test there.

 

road crowns differ if your on the right side of the road or left side...

I drove on a completely flat empty parking lot, no crown and it still occured.

Why would it just pull right and not left? High performance sports car my @$$

The size of the wheel shouldn't matter...

the 2004 has the compression rod issue:

would one buy 30k+ car knowing of these issues prior to buying their cars?

Anyone?

 

worst part is that this car is a 2004.5 with a build date 3/2004 aka with knee pad
