Question Car Pulling to the Right

So not too long ago I clipped a curb with my g35, had new wheel put on, new alignment done, new wheel assembly. Well i got it back from the body shop and the car just pulls slightly to the right, I took it back but they couldn't figure it out, anyone have any suggestions?

just a guess but you may want to check to see if the wheel bearing got messed up on the wheel that hit the curb. I had a similar issue (horrible vibration) and my wheel bearing was the culprit. Mine was so bad that when the car was jacked up I could jiggle the wheel back and forth with the hub staying in place.

I think I have the same problem, where's a good place to find a new wheel bearing?

What I did was actually buy the complete hub. If you buy the bearing by itself you'll have to get it pressed into the old hub. I bought the hub at a Nissan dealer. It was aprox $270. Infinit for the exact same part was somewhere around $350. Hope this helps!

check your rack and pinion. My car was donig that and try to replace everything and I did. Later I found out that rack and pinion was damaged. After they replaced, problem was solved.

You might have bent your arms just slightly. To the point where the guy aligning it didnt notice but it happened to my friends car.

I went to a shop(Mavis) to get an alignment done today. Had it done and it got worse! My car goes to the left even tho the steering wheel is straight! I took it back and the alignment machine said the toe is way out of place. They just had it aligned, but I dont understand how could it go bad in just couple of miles? They tried it again but couldnt get it right. Refunded me the money back.

What could the problem be? they didnt know what the problem was.! wtf kind of shop is that.
Im planning to go to a different shop tomorrow.
