Wandering Frontiers

**calcite** · July 23rd, 2005 02:36 PM

We have six new Nissan Frontiers 3.2 MT 4x4. Three of these have shown a slight pull to the right ("kabig") after travelling over some rough road. We've sent the worst one to the alignment shop twice and there was a slight improvement but the vehicle still pulls to the right. The shop said that everything is aligned and there is nothing more they can do.

Is this common to Frontiers? What can be our next move?

check the tire pressure, if all is well, switch the right one to the left, then observe.

Check first the tires and try swapping around to observe any changes as aforementioned...

Since it's still new, try to have the CASA check out the cars for the problem.

Sounds like the right wheel has too much positive caster. Have the caster angle checked and evened out on both sides.

If both tires are of the same pressures and condition, there should still be a misalignment the shop people may have missed.
