I dont know but I just bought my 08 IS250 new alittle more than a week ago and its got alittle over 500 miles on it.. alot of driving I know I was EVERYWHERE!.. but anyway point is I notice it pulls ever so SLIGHTLY to the RIGHT even after straightening it out and giving it alittle direction towards the left it slowly goes back to the right... not really noticable.. but I notice everything small like that.. I've never curbed it or hit an big pot holes.. car had 16miles when I got it, maybe the guy doing the once around raped it.. who knows.. anyone else have this problem ?

I bet it gonna be alignment.. Some new car didnt do alignment correct... Go back to dealership and ask service writer about why the car pull to the left.. It come with the warranty on 08 model and up.. IM not sure about 06 but it cost about 99 buck for alignment..

Your factory warranty includes adjustment stuff, like alignment, for 12 months/12k miles... after that they'll generally charge you.

When I first got my car it slightly pulled to the right so I got an alignment and after about 2 weeks it did it again Mayb its because of the *** roads I live on.
