G 35 Handling at 13.000 miles???

I feel the handling of my 04 G is not as stable lately.Do you think I have to perform alighment on it now at 13.000 miles? The steering wheel feels a little lighter and it pulls more to the right than it did up till now.
Thanks for your input.

Thanks for your input.

There seems to be a TSB for the pulling to the right.

How are your tires?

check tire pressures. If you dont check them on a regular basis that could be your problem.

My 05 has about 6000 miles now and it pulls slightly to the right. I've checked the tire pressures and they seem fine. The tires look ok too. Is there something mechanically wrong or some common problem with G35s?

i pulled over the other day cause it was raining (late summer shower down her in houston) cause im scared to drive in the rain at 11.8k miles since my tires are BALD. Ive noticed that over bumps i have to hold the wheel very tightly cause the wheel jerks so hard to the right

search here for it.. its a service bulletin. Basically, if you let go of the wheel on a flat, uncrowned road and it makes a lane change to the right in less than 7 secs, then you need the compression rod (assuming the alignment is good). I went 12K before having the rod replaced, my tire wear wasnt affected (odd), but it did help alot.

If you're tires are BALD after 11.8K miles, you may want to reconsider your driving habits. My Pilot Sports on my 04 only had minor wear after about 16K of non-winter driving. I have separate tires for winter with about 7K on them that also show little wear.
