Default Allignment Problems?

New Z owner here, I found a post about how the 03-04's has allgnment problems. Im aware of the tire feathering problems already but never heard about allignment problems.

Why I asking is my 1 week old 2004 came home with a bad allign. Basically it drives straight but the wheel is crooked. Its annoying as **** and the stealership wont do jack about it. They think I did it after I left.

Should I take it to get a front end allignment or take it to nissan to see if it fall under those old problems?

ALso it drives straight just when you put the wheel straight it will pull hard to the right. Like I said, the wheel is just off clockwise about an hour when driving straight.

Sorry maybe im stupid and my car jsut needs an allignment, but in all honestly Ive never had to get an allignment in my life on any car. Yes im 29 not 17, just got lucky I guess!

Thanks guys!

You mentioned two different problems:

a. Car pulls to the right. This is most likely a front end alignment problem.

b. Steering wheel off center. This is an easy fix, and should be completed after the alignment.
