Help! /w alignment

My car is pulling to the right and I have no idea what else to do.

- Got alignment done. Nothing was off to pull the car to right.
- Checked tire balancing twice.
- Tried rotating tires to every possible combinations.

Any suggestions on what to do? I don't even know what to ask for anymore..

Thank you.

hmmm... cant be a radial pull since you rotated the tires to all the different positions. Sounds like your caster is out. Only way that could happen on this car is if you were to hit something pretty hard. The caster isnt adjustable without a camber/caster kit.

Does it pull all the time? Might be road conditions. If a tire rotation and alignment does not help I don't know what to say.

Definitely not the road conditions as it pulls right even on road where the car should pull to the left (decliene to the left)

Have you lowered your sedan?

Do you have a spec sheet for the Alignment results? If so, could you post them up?

Do You Have Directional Tires? If U Do, It Will Always Have A Pull Because Of Road Conditions. If Its Non-directional, U Have Another Problem.

First of all what year is your car? If its an 03 or 04 im pretty sure that their was a TSB on a part that was causing all the Gs to drift to the right while driving, even with perfect alignment. If this is the case i would take it to the dealer and just get the part changed out...

Good point.

Worst case have the dealer do an alingment and if it still pulls they can help figure out the problem.

I will have the alignment results posted as soon as I get it scanned.
My car is stock 03 sedan with 0 mods.
Tires I currently have on my sedan are Hankook w409i, which looks directional to me.

I'll check with my local dealer regarding the possible recall. But I don't see it on http://www.infinitihelp.com/Infiniti...s/G35/2003.htm list. Do you know the recall number?

Thanks guys! I'll give my local dealer a call. If there's more suggestions, do feel free to list them for me.

A TSB is NOT repeat NOT a recall. I have seen TSBs issued to correct a page or paragraph number in a publication. Most TSBs give instructions or alerts to the techs on a problem, but a recall is an entirely different animal!

If your tires are directional, there would be an arrow located on the sidewall, pointing in the direction of rotation.
