I just got a 2002 I35 that was a trade-in. The dealer that I bought it from performed an alignment on it but it still pulls to the right. If I take it to an Infiniti dealership can I get an alignment done under warranty?

 

I highly doubt it

 

Alignment is one of those 'wear and tear' normal maintenance things. Like filling up your battery (why the hell are they servicable on this type of car anyways?).... So no it won't be covered under your warranty.

 

Thanks. I guess that I'll have to come out of pocket then and get it done at the Infiniti dealership.

 

Yeah, it sucks. Had to do my brakes today... Whew those are some pricey pieces. Anyone know what rotors are good, and who would be good to install them?

 

Give a look at TireRack. They have an intuitive system of identifying your car and providing you optrions for brake components. The options will range from basics to high performance components for our cars.

I went with the EBC rotors & pads and (though I probably could have done it) I had the dealer put them on. Grad school is taking up a lot of time anyway.

The cost of TRack's high performance units were about in line with OEM for dimpled & slotted rotors. I got "red stuff" pads and the dust is low, while braking is great. I added the braided steel lines (for the front only) too, just cause I knew it was time for a brake fluid change-out & a bleed was going to be done anyway.

My only observation is that the slotted rotors do make a "whirring" noise constantly that I'm used to now.

(The nice thing was that having the dealer do the work, got me a loaner G35 for the day. What a rush! I took it out for lunch that day during work and has happy being hungry all day afterwards.)

 

check tire air pressure

 

Were they expensive? I need to get those done too but may have to wait and do one at a time.

 

I forget the price but go over to that site & you can get a quote in just a couple of minutes. Even if it was a little more than OEM, it was worth the satisfaction knowing I had great equipment.
