04 coupe pulling to the right.....

I noticed that when i let go of the steering wheel, my vic pulls to the right, my car is only a couple months old with about 9000kms (not sure what that is in miles).

Im thinking my allignment is off? what else could cause this?

is this something that would be taken care of under warranty?

sounds like yer allignment is off... yer not covered.. gutta watch them bumps and potholes even on stock wheels.. any local tire shop can fix it for you.. should run you anywhere from $40-80(US).. happens to the best of us..

Might want to make sure the little things are done first .. proper tire inflation, proper balancing of the wheels .. might be in a rare occasion improper wear on the tire (resulting from a bad alignment) so a rotation might help band-aid the problem .. After all that - then maybe seeing if an alignment solves it - but if it isn't that bad I wouldn't worry.. just have to realize that no matter how careful you are, the wheels take massive abuse.

Is it a heavy pull or a slow pull to the right? Sometimes they'll align your car to slowly pull to the right so that if you fall asleep at the wheel you'll drive onto the shoulder and not into oncoming traffic. If it's a dramatic pull, then find a shop that'll balance/align for cheap.

Rotate the tires around and see if the pull changes. If it does then its most likely your tires or a tire balance issue.
