Ever since I installed my new rims/tires the car has pulled to the right. I had an alignment today, and the specs all are within range. I do have the 350z suspension as well.

Anyways, the car pulls to the right, especially on the highway. If my hands are off the wheel for more then 3 seconds I'm in the next lane.

I also noticed today that the wheel is about 4 degrees to the right when the car is going straight. If the steering wheel is straightened out then I start going left.

I guess I don't know what exactly the problem is, and I'm quite curious about the odd steering wheel inaccuracies.

Anyone have any opinions on this? I read previous alignment threads and it appears a lot of the 03's had pulling to the right problems that people couldn't resolve, but there hasn't been a post in about a year discussing it.

I just saw that my front left tire was 3 PSI higher then the other three. I lowered it to the same. I can't imagine that would make that big of a deal.

BrianV,
I believe that if your stering wheel is cocked in order to straight,
you have an allignment issue. My old Altima was sold to me
like that. The dealer was able to make some adjustments to
get it to go straingt when the wheel was straight.

Brian..
Did you witness the alignment?
or did you get a printout of the settings?

FWIW...
You can be within specs, but if one side is minimum spec & the other is max spec then you could still have problems.

It's important that each side is the same.
& not just within spec.

Yeah all sides are within spec but there are variances. I guess I'll go back and tell them to make them all the same.

That's sort of what I figured.

1) Check the alignment again. It sounds to me the tech was a dummy and didn't make sure the steering wheel was straight before doing the alignment.

2) Could be a belt in a tire. I have had this happen many times. To resolve this, rotate one side at a time front to back. If it goes away, you found the problem and the side. If it doesn't go away after rotating both to the back, then you still have a alignment issue.
