Car Pulling To The Right.

[tjlazer111]

Just got my IS350 a couple weeks ago and it drives nice. But I noticed the car pulling a little to the right when I'm braking. It doesn't always do it, but its noticeable when it does. I've never owned a car with lower profiles tires, so I'm just wondering if that's normal for a car with 18" wheels, because it's gripping all the grooves in the road. Or do I have a minor alignment problem. Any info would be appreciated. B)

It's not "normal" under any kind of barking. Assuming you are on a flat and level road you should brake in a straight line. It's probably one of:

* uneven wearing of pads

* indicator of a caliper issue (either side).

* brake fluid / air in line

In any case, certainly a dealer warranty issue.

First check that tire pressures are at recommended levels, and especially the same L to R in front and rear.
