I have a 03.5 sedan. My car pulled to the right from day one. I had the dealer tell me it was the crown on the road (total B.S. reason). It was pulling hard. I then had it checked at an alignment shop. They told me it was within specs at 2000 miles. I never had it aligned until I replaced the original Goodyears at 46,000 miles. I bought Goodyear GS-D3 F1's (highly recommend them) and got an alignment and now it does NOT pull at all! Yippee.
P.S. I went to a 225/55/17 from 215/55/17.

 

for those who had the drifting problem - did you ever get it sorted?

i have it here: Well I visited Radial today and all the techs there were very professional. As far as alignment, all the wheels were fine with no leaks or abnormal tire wear. They even rotated the tires and had the alignment tweaked a bit but the car still pulls marginally to the right. The tech there, Sri, said that I should give the alignment report to Nissan/Infiniti as it is now some suspension adjustment that has to be addressed - something minor which one of their customer 350z encountered.

Let see how helpful Nissan is now esp since this is an aftermarket add-on!

edit: he mentioned the castor could be an issue as well which Nissan can take care off.

 

I haven't signed on in a bit but the 2nd Dealership I took it to in Scottsdale actually replaced a part on the suspensionon the right side, it seemed to have fixed the problem but I had terrible feathering on the tires. so that seemed to work only issue is my new tires feathered again in only 3 months ugh but life goes on..

Oh and the service guy said it was a part he guessed was bad due to earlier models having a similar but worse problem?

 

Wow, i thought my car was just messed up cause recently, I let my girlfriend drive my car and she spun out and his an island. No damage what so ever on the car and i did the alignment and it was on the dot. I thought i bent something but now i'm hoping it's just a common G problem.

 

mine still does it to this day but I've learnt to live with it.

 

same.. it's annoying as hell.. but i learned to make sure the car tracks straight on the test drive before i buy it!

 

Dude this was me 2 days ago:

Cliffs...

Bought 2 front Nexen N3000 tires @ Discount ((car doesn't drift yet)) ...take them back after 5 days swap to for Falken 452...

Car starts drifting right immediately ((I'm very pissed))

Go back they dismount & swap both front tires to isolate the problems

Car still drifts. ((Still mad)) I go to Just Tire..on the way, run into hot girl from college...pay 96.00 for alignment car drifts some more ((super pissed))

Me...Frustrated some more, go back to Discount have them swap back for Nexen N3000s....car drifts less but still drifts now...WTF

I speed my way over to Just tire before close...they get best guy on it tonight...he fix my alignment car drifts ALOT less but still drift on crown road of course but guy says my rear left stock potenza is balding in the center which could effect the tractionz ((Again I'm like WTF))

Discuss

Oh yeah check your tires and traction guys. Before I swapped out any tires, my car ran straight with the noisey front 19 stocks on. The minute I change from Nexen N3000 to Falken 452...the drift o rama began

Cliffs 2:

Tire swap history

All tires installed on 2 front wheels only

1. Factory Bridgestone RE50 Potenza 19s (225/40/19)
2. Nexen N3000 19s (245/35/19)
3. Falken 452 19s (245/40/19)
4. ((back to Nexen N3000)) 19s (245/35/19)

Alignment history:

2 so far

Final Verdict : I'm about 95% happy at the moment

 

Hell mine must be messed up, it pulls left so maybe all yours are fine and mine is the broken one.

 

Hi from down under
Mine still does this and it ***** me.
I've taken it to 2 different highly lauded alignment places to check this out and they can't find anything wrong...

The strange thing is they both gave me the same story which is scary.
They tell me that some cars come out of Japan with the drifting lanes thing by design. It's there to stop you crashing into the oncoming traffic if you fall asleep and to take out innocent bystanders, pets and small children on the footpath instead.

 

i had the car drifting to right on me, pretty bad. i changed all 4 tires (not for that reason) but it helped a little. i also had my compress rod & links replaced under warrenty. Car feels alot better and doesnt feel like its pullying or drifting anymore.

 

Apintojr, I may have to do that. How long was your car at the dealer? I may see if I can take mine in to the dealer under warranty if my car's 2% drift isn't fixed when I replace the rear tires

Did they give you an 08 to drive around too?

 

My G has a bad pull to the right as well, I got a recal notice from infiniti on the problem with a right control arm factory defect. It was replacable under waranty but i went over miles, spent $500 for new part and installation. It didnt fix the pull so i got the old one put back on. The pull is so bad i have to put touring tires on because low profile racing tires follow the ruts in the road so bad it throws the car literally in the next lane. Also this problem prevents me from gettin bigger rims i so desire. The car will not go into alignment either, the last setting that tracks the straightness of the car is off. the car has never been recked or majorly repaired. and i cant think of anything that would cause a frame to bend with out messing up a suspension part in the process.

 

We need a poll....who's car pulls to the right or left

Who's car pulls to the right or left

Then do a sticky...what did you do to correct or attempt to correct the problem so far? This way we can find out some solutions that work for everybody

 

Mine pulls to the right. I've been told that it's because my right rear tire has significantly less tread than the other 3. I'm going to be replacing the 2 rear tires very soon. Obviously, i'll be getting an alignment when i get the 2 new tires.

No solution for me yet, but I'm just beginning this process...

 

Mine's started drifting to the right after I had 4 tires replaced to Hankook. Did a re-alignment with a local shop and still drifts a little to the right. I guess it's ok since everyone here is having the same issues. It's weired because it did not drift with the old Bridgestone tires.
