pulling to the right

*jhromy* · 11-12-2004, 09:27 PM

I just purchased my Titan yesterday and I dont know if it's just me or what but i feel the truck pulling to the right constently...i have to hold the wheel to the left to keep it straight...i checked the tire pressure and both are the same...has anybody else had this problem???

Other than that i love this truck...it is the best vehicle i ever purchased. Not a single problem other than this minor one which ill get corrected this week if i have to take it to nissan.

I have the same problem with my TITAN SE CC. I just noticed this problem last week. My truck has less than 200 miles and it is bad news if it's pulling to the right already. Why don't you take it to the shop and let me know what they told you.

One last thing... Have you notice that your door hinges are secured with nuts that are not painted?? I just noticed this today. One of them is getting corrosion. I wonder why they are not painted after final assembly. I know that GM assembles their cars without the doors, this is to prevent damage to the paint, but at least they paint the nuts.

Check it out.

When I got my truck it pulled right quite a bit...took it to the dealership aka house of morons. They "aligned" it (bullsh!t) but did notice the pull...which they said the steering wheel cause by being off-center (like I said idiots) well it kept doing it, I took it in again and said my tires were feathering and they said to rotate every 3K...I told them they were idiots, and to align it, they did and 2K miles later the tires have worn themselves normal and the truck doesn't pull anymore....moral of the story...GET IT ALIGNED.

Do a search. I'm pretty sure this has a few threads on it.

I had this problem as well upon delivery. It took 3 attempts and even getting in loaners for them to align it correctly. I've never been part of such a fiasco as this was getting a friggin' alignment. I'll never take it to the dealership for an alignment again.

Before you run back to the dealer with it, Swap the front tires from side to side, Does it STILL PULL? If so it NEEDS to be lined-up, If not it has a bad tire!!!! I know for some its a PITA to change tires around,BUT at least if you have this info when you take it to the dealer, They MIGHT get it rite the FIRST TIME!!!!

My Armada is in the shop right now for the same issue.

going straight but steering wheel is lopsided

Mine pulled to the right upon delivery too... Fortunately my dealership re-aligned the front end and that fixed the problem right up, no questions asked...

Mine did the same thing. I've had it to the dealer twice now. The first time they aligned it and it did get a little better but still not fixed. the second time they said that they checked the alignment and it was right on. the mechanic also drove it and couldn't notice a problem. But it still pulls to the right! Imagine that! Does anyone know if this will get better once my tires wear if, in fact, it is aligned correctly? I'm just so tired of going out of my way to take my truck in for service. After the brake problems, new radio, torn seat cover...

Try what drags1998 suggested a few posts up. May just be a tire wear do to the misalignment you had.

Rotating the tires did WONDERS for me. Give it a shot!

Just got my titan 2 weeks ago and I notice the pull to the right. Upon closer inspection, the steering wheel is off center. It's lopsided! Can't wait for the sevice dept. to open on monday to take care of this. Will update

pulling to the right - being discussed at Nissan Titan Forums in the Titan Problems & Dealer Service section.
