Nissan 350Z 2003-2004 Models with Alignment Problems

Some of these vehicles have suspension and alignment defects that result in premature wear, feathering, and cupping of the front tires, resulting in front end noise sometimes called "tire roar or tire growl". The noise is usually heard when the vehicle is braking, traveling on a smooth road surfaces or at speeds of 30 mph or less. Some Nissan 350z owners and lessees have been forced to replace their front tires and service their vehicle's front-end alignment more often than is reasonably expected.

Nissan has made several attempts to remedy the front tire problem in the 2003 - 2005 350Z car. These efforts have been unsuccessful. Nissan has issued several Technical Service Bulletins, with various steps to try to correct the front end problem. Nissan issued its Technical Service Bulletin called "2003 350Z Front Wheel Alignment Warranty Extension (NTB04-043) on April 12, 2004." At the same time Nissan sent all 2003 350Z owners a letter describing a warranty extension and inviting 350Z owners with front tire problems to come to the dealership service department for a free inspection.

If you are an owner or lessee of a 2003, 2004 or 2005 Nissan 350Z with any this problem, please feel free to call or email our office.
