Have about 4000 miles on my 04.5 D/A CC, and on a trip this weekend I
noticed it starting to pull to the right, not severely but
slightly. Not the wind or the crown of the road (checked for that
and eliminated that factor). When I apply the brakes normally, it
also pulls to the right slightly. Is this probably allignment, or
could it be a front tire going out of whack. Have not done the
type of driving that would normally put me out of allignment
(offroad). Thanks

I would try rotating the tires first. My 03 did the same thing when it was new. I rotated the tires - front to back on the same side and it went away. I also replaced the OE Firestones at 10k with Michelins … big improvement…

Is the tire pressure in the fronts the same?

Yes, tire pressure is the same - first thing I checked.

When mine was new I had the same problem. Brought it to the dealer and they checked air pressure and it still pulled. They aligned it (was out of alignment a little) and it still pulled some. The rotated the tires and was better. After it had about 15K on it, the pulling stopped or I didn't notice it anymore. I now have over 46K.


I believe if you are below a certain number of miles, warranty covers an alignment. Maybe one of the techs can be more specific.
