Nissan 2010 D22 Str 2.5 dual cab ute 35,000k's is continually pulling left. Have had factory specs alignment done and it was no better, so had non-factory specs alignment done and was slight improvement. Any suggestions what to try next?
I have got same model and have had 7 wheel alignments but still wanders with the camber of the road I have had everything checked. I took it to pro axle the last time he tightened steering box as well as alignment bit better but still annoying. Nissan should not be aloud to sell cars with crap steering I no of a few people with same problem if I find a solution will let you no
SOURCE: steering pull and tire wear
If professional alignment does not straighten out alignment & tire wear, you can "tinker" with the settings to straighten it out. Caster is pre-set & non adjustable. You did not mention toe-in.(which more often causes wear. If the steering wheel is not horizontal it shows a possible toe-in problem, as can wandering. What condition are the tie rod ends and ball joints? Be sure everything is tight before doing anything else. If you make any changes, make small ones, write everything down and use good reference marks that will not wear off. Once a small change is made, drive for a while & check tire wear often.
You are correct in persuing this matter, but If you did not buy the car new, even a minor previous accident could throw the body out of whack enough to give problems like you are having.

sounds like a wheel bearing. typically when you take weight off bad bearing noise goes away. to replace bearing you will need a press to get it off and on

First of all, are all the tires the same size and are they all inflated to the same pressure? If you have two different size tires (or different tires on the front, i.e. manufacturer and tread mismatch) can cause this problem. Also, what did the alignment measurements indicate? Was there a difference in the CAMBER measurements between Left & Right? This can also cause pulling. Additionally, if the front tires have been worn UNEVENLY (meaning they have become CAMBERED), this will also cause 'pulling.' Solution: VERIFY front alignment is within specifications and correct any deviation in THRUST ALIGNMENT. Replace both front tires with SAME size and specs inflated equally.

You have to pull the steering wheel to get it straightened out. Look in the back of the wheel, 2 screws? Pull the air bag, remove the nut to the top of the threads, pound on the nut, not the threads with a brass hammer, it should pop off, if it doesn't, you have to get a wheel puller on there, pop the wheel, make sure the front wheels are straight, then put it back on straight, tighten it up and put the airbag back on. Hope this helps.

if pulls right when braking,then l/h brake is faulty, the ajustments on the steering arms not even so steering bob/rack is self centering so r/h ajustment is too tinht,,wheels shaking=wheel bent,out of balance,bearings in hub worn so wheel wobbles
