I have 2 4th gens (96 and 99). they both pull left and suffer from a slight vibration. It'd been present when it was stock, lowered, w/ stock wheels and 19's, after balancing and an allignment. It just does it no matter what I do in both cars. Whats the problem?

 

Mine does for a little while ...

 

Yes, i recently got my STOCK car. The car can't stay straight for more than 3 sec. Am planning to take it in for an alignment.

 

mine does not drive gay? yea mine is pretty good unless i have uneven pavemenr or a rut, or something like that

 

It depends on the pavement... in a parking lot, yes my car will drive straight, but on the road, no.

 

possible unequal amount of tire pressure

 

nope. just got an alignment done today. still pulling a little to the right.

 

My car also pulls to the right after getting alignment done to it.

 

i'm gonna go back and complain. make them try it again.

 

I don't think that would work, I have heard from like 2 people saying the same thing after they droped their car, it pulls to the right. but it is worth the try.

 

try a parking lot, roads are crowned to be even with the curbing, i know some transportation engineering, meaning if you take a string from the middle of the road, itll be even wit the top of the curb. that might be causing pull in a certain directoin, parking lots arent crowned, theyre generally flat

 

yeah but I told them it was dropped and the guy said he was confident that he could align it right... i guess he can't...

 

just got my aligment done after some work on my rack and pinion. And now my car drives pretty straight going 75mph. It will go staright for few minutes, then it starts to pull really slowly

My car pulls too. I've had 3 alignments in the past 2 yrs, and nothing works. I'm going to try this when I put new bushings on my front sway bar.

 

I had an alignment done not too long ago when i put on my falken's. The car still pulled to the right. I took it in for a re-alignment. Same thing. I don't know whats wrong with it.

 

I took my 98 to a specialty guy, and he told me that lowered Maximas (and older 300z's) he has found to have a problem with pulling to the right. He had no explaination why, but the 3 people I took it too and told me it was aligned correctly sure back his claim up. the only possiblity I havent counted out is radial pull (which is unlikely, but possible, considering the car did not pull before i got higher performance tires) -my 2 cent

 

My maxima drives straight and its lowered.

 

if ur car pulls to the right on a normal road than its normal, because thats how roads are made so that the water from the rain goes to the sides of the road and doesnt just collect in the middle. So basicall most of the roads are made like that, well at a slight angle, to allow the water to always go to the right no matter which way ur driving on the street and so hence ur car pulls to the right as wee.

and if it pools to the left u might want to check out ur motormounts as well.

 

My car only drives straight when I'm not drunk!

Seriously, my car drives straight and i'm lowered.

 

Straight as an arrow...

 

Hello? Has anyone tried adjusting the camber like the link suggests? Anyone? Beuller, Beuller...

 

If I drive smack bang in the middle of the road, it'll go straight, otherwise it'll pull to the left (LHD roads ). Just recently had it re-aligned after it started suffering from some major shakes, took the garage two days, but they re-aligned it perfectly (as well as checking to make sure it wasn't anything major causing it)

 

Mine pulls left like a ****. Our springs rotate, I can spin them back into place and it will drive straight. But when im cutting the wheel sharp in a parking lot they will start to spin, and pop and my alignment goes w/ it. Anyone experience the same thing

 

explain this spring thing to me. I was unaware that the springs had that kind of movement within the wheel well. Why does this cause pull as well, (I think this might solve a big problem once and for all)
