2003-2004 G35; steering drifting to the right

So I took my car to the dealership for various reasons, one being that i started to notice my car pulling to the right. So they said they could do a 4 wheel alignment for 100 bucks so i said go ahead, does that sound good or are they ripping me off? Also i noticed this: http://www.infinitihelp.com/Ownershi.../ITB03-028.htm

it talks about how our cars pull to the right, is it something that they have to fix without charging? I want to call them back and tell him about it but im not sure if that bulletin is covered by my warranty or what not. If it is should they reimburse me for the alignment? Thanks im gonna be calling him back right away.

Doesn't hurt to ask if they will cover that under warranty. As far as alignments go though you could always spend an extra $40 and get the lifetime alignment from Firestone. That way you can get it checked every six months without paying the dealer $100 each time.

If that's true then it's a real steal. There are a lot of shops who will do work like replace tie rods but aren't set up to do alignments, so you could definitely save yourself money over time on any vehicle that you do that with.

I think I've paid ~$80 in the past for alignments, but then again, I don't live in SoCal...

Yeah its a pretty good deal, i just got mine done last week. For a single alignment it is $69 and for lifetime it was $139 so i just figure in six months when I get it checked again it would have paid for itself and from there on after they are free.
