So, I have a 7th Gen Maxima, about four weeks ago I realized that my steering wheel was shaking when accelerating in the freeway & was pulling to the right. My first thought was to check my tires, when taking a peek I noticed that my front tires were wearing from the inside. I ordered two new front tires, balanced them, and got an alignment. Two weeks into it my car is starting to pull to the right again!? I can't afford this i'm a college student.

 

Hey man welcome!

So when you got the new tires and fresh alignment, you didn't notice the pull to the right anymore? Only about 2 weeks later and it's just now starting to pull?

My guess there is the pull feeling is that right tire being worn down. So that's the next question and I'll let someone else chime in as I'm not a mechanic.

Good luck!

 

An alignment shop should have caught any irregularities in the suspension during the alignment. Does it pull right only when you hammer the throttle? Like a little bit of torques steer? Or is mild to moderate acceleration also causing it to pull?
I would recommend taking it back to the alignment shop and having them check it out. Could be some suspension bushings worn out, ball joints/tie rods worn out, etc.

 

If you had new tires installed and had them aligned at the time of purchase I'd take it back to that shop and have them re-look at their work. The alignment should have fixed the problem and if there are worn bushings they should have been found as the source of your problem for bringing in your car in the first place.

 

I did my alignment at the dealer and they told me that everything looked good. I'd say about a week later it started gradually pulling to the right while i'm driving at normal speeds. While i'm driving in the freeway it torques the steering, i'd let go off the steering and i'll start changing lanes! I went back to the dealer and re-aligned the car and they said everything looked normal.

 

Take it somewhere else to get an alignment.

 

What tires did you put on?
Is the road heavily crowned?

 

I threw on some Achilles ATR Sport tires (245/40ZR19 98W XL)
I do most of my driving commuting, so just driving on the freeway which is slightly crowned but nothing crazy.

 

Try rotating the tires left side to right side and see if it changes anything.
If you still track the same direction it is alignment. If you go the opposite direction, it is tires.
