2013 Infiniti G37 — car pulls right even though alignment is green

QuietRoadie94Community StarterMar 17, 20262013 Infiniti G37 xSDetroit
2013 Infiniti G37 xS, about 90,000 miles. Alignment printout is within spec, but the car still wants to drift right on a flat road.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2013 Infiniti G37, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2013 Infiniti G37 before a big repair or a big spend. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2013 Infiniti G37 in Detroit with 90,000 miles. When does it actually happen? This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Fair point. Counterpoint: If it still isn't clear on the 2013 Infiniti G37, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. Then you'll know the next fork. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

I parked the 2013 Infiniti G37 and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. I'll update if anything new shows up.

Yes, with one caveat: On the 2013 Infiniti G37 in Detroit, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. That's where I'd start. On “car pulls right even though alignment is,” that was the fork that mattered for me. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2013 Infiniti G37 owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Asking because it changes the advice: Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2013 Infiniti G37 before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' Worth doing even if the car feels fine right now. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. That's my plan before I call anyone.

Thanks — that narrowed it. I'm going to try the simpler check on the 2013 Infiniti G37 first. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Same neighborhood, different next step: On the 2013 Infiniti G37 in Detroit, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “car pulls right even though alignment is,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. That's my plan before I call anyone.

Take it or leave it — that's what I'd do. A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

OP update: I tried the earlier suggestion and it only happens under that one condition. This is the version I'd tell a friend.
