I have an 07 G35 Sport.My car is only 3 months old with 3500 miles on it. Ever since day one, my alignment was off. Note this: The car doesn’t pull left of right, it drives perfectly, but when the steering wheel is centered, the car pulls to the right. I’ve been to the dealership 4 times. They checked everything (oh so they say), no damage to tires or wheels, no frame damage nothing. It’s a brand new car. Every time they do my alignment, it gets worse and worse. Finally the answer that I got from them is that this is how it supposed to be.

Anybody had a problem with the steering wheel not being centered? If so how did you fix it?

Thank you

I had the same issue with another car. Take the car to a tire shop as even brand new tires can have problems. Have them check the tires. You could have a tread separating or collapsing.

Yes, unless the tire was damaged. If you hit a pothole or something in the road, you could be paying for a new tire or two.

Sounds like to me they didn't center the steering wheel during the alignment. The car is probably driving straight and the steering wheel is cocked to the left a few degrees. When you try to drive with the steering wheel straight, obviously the car is going to pull right.
