One thing I noticed is that it pulls to the left a bit a highway speeds. Nothing dangerous, but enough to be annoying. Any idea what it could be?

Lower control arm possibly? How’s your suspension components (LCA, bushings, tie rods, CV)?

Tire pressure is off? *trollolololol*

Seriously check the alignment and maybe your tire on that side is worn.

If you haven’t driven a car in awhile and didn’t check the air pressure before. It could actually be as simple as that.

LCA would make sense. Haven’t touched anything suspension wise since we bought the car 4 or 5 years ago.

Check the tie rod ends. Wouldn’t necessarily make it pull to one side, but they are notoriously cheap. Also check tire pressure. One low could make it pull.

Also - they do tend to “pull” downhill on crested roads, so if the road slopes off to the right the car pulls to the right, etc. Just worth a mention - I’ve thought about alignments before, then realized I was on a more sloped than normal road...

True I made the trolololol comment due to the tire pressure meme we created when that dude in the M4 jumped the curb trying to be a bad ass and floor it out of a cars and coffee then blamed it on tire pressure being 1.5 PSI off.

Gotcha. When I first got my Infiniti, the LCA bushing was bad, which caused a bad pull. Replaced it, along with an inner tie rod end and CV boot, got an alignment, and there was no more pull. Luckily they’re a cheap fix.

I remember that well. Good times were had at that asshat’s expense.

I’m gonna guess its what Wes said a bit higher and that the LCA is going bad.

Thats one of two things that engine does very well. The other being bulletproof, but that should happen from an engine thats origins go back to the mid 60’s.

Oh yeah for sure. I had a LeSabre, it certainly had adequate amounts of go.

Had an 04 as my first car I bought on my own.

Cheap to own, decent on fuel, and tons of room for friends and stuff. Got 35mpg on the highway at 70-75.
