HELP! G pulls to the right and steering wheel shakes.

03 g35 sedan.
tien s-tech springs
20' xxr 521

problem has been even before wheels but basically, at around 60mph car starts to pull to the right and i get a lot of vibrations in the steering wheel.

Ive done an alignment and still no change.
tires are balanced and fine and still no change.

ive read on here that the compression rod bushing goes bad and this is usally the cause of the issue? if so is this something that i can crawl under the car and notice it bad? what can i do to test this issue?

thank you.

I haven't, to be honest I haven't even had a chance to check anything. I am probably going to drop it off at a shop and see.

Can you let us know how it goes?

I have an issue where my steering feels unresponsive. I do not know if this could be
caused by a bad compression rod bushing? I took it to my mechanic today and he can not find anything significant. Anyone here had an issue with unresponsive steering?

Compression rod bushings and inner lower control arm bushings are almost guaranteed shot.

Mine are, but my steering wheel never shakes.

That's most likely caused by bad wheel bearings. IIRC, the way to check is to jack up the front of the car, grab the wheel at "12" and "6" and see if it wobbles.
