I also have the same problem. I was going to make a thread but wasn't sure how to explain it. On uneven roads, car has a tendency to pull one side. It gets very annoying. I never had this problem in my base 350z. I though 370Z suspension is just too sensitive to road irregularity.... Interesting ....

make sure they can actually do something about it before leaving the car there so that after few hours they dont call you and tell you that they dont have the specs for it :mad:

Haha, yeah, Ill make sure of that. I would probably stay while it was serviced though. I saw some of the service guys taking a joyride in a customers blue 370 just a few days ago, but that's a different story entirely.

It should be a simple fix. Your car IS under warranty. So, they have to fix it. If I recall correctly, isn't the rule of thumb is, if you're driving on the highway and you let go your steering wheel, if the car goes to another lane in 7 seconds then your alignment is off?

Def. stay in the shop because this way you prevent multiple joyrides. Please note, they will STILL take the car out for a "Test Ride" once they are done with w/e problems you had. You can't stop it. They will probably do one as you bring it in to find your problem and one right after fixing the problem. But if you're not there and the manager is out, consider your car "joyride of the day".
