alright well i no longer have my Si, but now have an MP3. I noticed that for some reason it pulls to the right, i have had it for two weeks now and brought it back to the dealer last week for an alignment and it still pulls. They said its because of the upgraded rim and tire package, that if the road is slightly angled to the right thats whats pulling the car. (they also tried to say that its because of all the torque, but then i told them it was when i was at a constant speed) but i told them it happen on all roads the only time i dont notice it is when the right side of the road is actually higher then then left then it doesnt pull either way.

Sorry for the novel

any help is appreciated

i doubt it has been long enough but if you have been making alot of hard turns to the right then that could be the problem but after only two weeks? i doubt it

Sounds a little like the sunshine treatment...

The car can pull to right if the road is tapered but if U drive on enough roads U can tell if it is the road or not. If it pulls ALL of the time, then it is not the road.
U need to check a couple of things like:
1. Tire air pressure
Make sure all are @ spec, usually about 35 LBs
2. Rotate tires
Put the fronts on the back.
3. Alignment
IMO, most new car dealers do a crummy job of alignment. Though this is straight forward, it seems that their staff is just not up to par compared to a pro front end specialist shop. If the dealer has tried a couple times, ask around and find the best experienced shop around and pay the $50-75.

If fixed...
then go back to the original dealer and complain....

yeah i brought it to the dealer and they sent it out cause they dont do alignments. It seems to be a big thing with this car though, there is a few at least 10 or so from www.mazdamp3.com that have this problem. im starting to wonder if maybe we need a camber kit if that would help or what.
