hey trubocad i dunt want 2 bug u but i have problem wen i brake the car goes to the right or left and they did the aliment today but it didnt fix it wat is the reson. thanx bro ur the best
 
when you brake it goes to the right or the left... does it always go to either the right or the left or is it both? stock rubber brake lines deteriorate from the inside out & when they deteriorate they swell up inside & restrict flow to the caliper, so sometimes when you brake one side may engage faster than the other.. this can cause a pull to one side on first jab at the brakes... it's also common that calipers can stick, either the piston when contracted to install new brakes, or even the sliders on the calipers too... any uneveness side to side can cause this issue too... sounds like a brake issue if it feels fine until braking....
 
A friend of mine, who has the FX35, had the same problem and for him, one side did engage quicker than the other. This happened on my old car and they claimed it was because one side was receiving more braking pressure than the other. I've read things about this online, but my problem didn't happen all the time. It mainly happened when I had my rims on the car. Good luck though.

My FX currently pulls to the side but it's due to alignment which i'm lazy to get done, but need to :wink:
 
wellll the dealer said he did the alignment but i dunt think the did same problem it pulls to the sides without the braking to maybe it is the alignment .. it pulls with out brakeing also which sux for a almost brand new car with 7000 miles
 
if you have OE wheels & OE suspension then yeah, without a doubt warranty issue, but if you did wheels &/or springs then the dealer may try to point a finger at that as a probable cause... also if they determine something is bent or otherwise damaged from impact then that wouldn't be covered either most likely...

US Code - Title 15, Chapter 50, Sections 2301-2312
Legally, a vehicle manufacturer cannot void the warranty on a vehicle due to an
aftermarket part unless they can prove that the aftermarket part caused or
contributed to the failure in the vehicle (per the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act (15​

The burdon is on them to prove that the aftermarket part caused the problem.....I wouldnt just take their word for it

if the aftermarket part is not within factory specs though then they can point a finger of blame at it... 22's or lowered springs are not within specs. if you add an intake & throw up a CE light they can def point a finger at that... if it was an aftermarket dirrect replacement designed to function as the original part, I think that's more what that is intended for...
