Talking Car pulls to the right...

Does anyone have a problem with their car pulling to the right?

I got new tires, tried switching left and right sides. I got an alignment from Infiniti of Costa Mesa. And the car still pulls to the right..

Costa Mesa Infiniti swears the car doesn't pull, but everyone and anyone who test drove my car can easily tell that it's pulling.. i am constantly steering to the left.. Costa Mesa basically left me out in the cold.. what do I do?

go back to them and demand that they take a test drive with you in the car. of course they are going to deny it. if you show them than they will HAVE to fess up and repair it and if not take it somewhere else to get it looked at and when they say it steers to the right... document it and take it to costa mesa and tell them if they dont acknowledge it and fix it that they'll have a lawsuit and the BBB on their *****...

well that's what i would do at least

tried switching out the tires..
my advisor Hans Rico is not even returning my calls.. he was so happy that i was paying $100 for the alignment.. now i have issues and he doesn't even return calls.. class-act right here

Does it pull strong to the right or is it a drift to the right after driving for a while. Forget the crown on the road and all that stuff just drive it normal and see if it drifts to the right slowly or if it pulls. Chances are your compression rod is shot or on its way out and no matter what they do the alignment will not hold up on the car. It will keep pulling to the right.

my car drifts to the right and i set the alignment to a perfect .40 toe on both sides. My caster is at 8.7 on the left and 9.3 on the right which is how it is supposed to be because the roads are slopped down to the right so the right side being just ahead of the left side of the suspension should keep the car from pulling, however it does not. It's not that big of a deal to me because it doesnt pull, it only drifts.

The alignment once its set is fine but the thing is that if the compression rod is starting to go out it will not hold the alignment. It will continue to drift to the right, if the road is crowned and the rod is good then its barely noticeable but if its bad it will drift right and be very noticeable.

my car has 25k miles on it and the compression rod isnt bad, i do the alignment every couple of month's at my shop to perfection, yet the car still drifts to the right, its a common problem on G's. Just gotta learn to live with it.

Talking

I never had this problem until about a month ago..
and trust me.. drifting to the right is ok, understandable..
but basically my steering wheel is not center and i have to jerk my steering wheel a little left every 2 seconds..
i have the alignment printout and it is almost right on the dot.. but the car still pulls..
