Car goes to the left.....
When I bought my car ( 94 Civic EX with 133k) about 6 months ago the car came with some low profile tires on the front and normal tires on the rear. The car would always lean to the left and it bugged the **** out of me. So I replaced all the tires and had an alignment done, I was hoping this would cure the problem but It doesnt seem to have done the job. What could cause this? The suspension and steering stuff looks pretty old and am thinking about replacing things like shocks, springs, axles, lca, etc. .....

The car leans to the left is what you are saying correct? All of the Civics I've ever seen do this. It's just the Honda Civic Gangsta Lean y0! The only way you're going to get rid of it is coilovers.

i think he's talking about his car pulling to the left. on my car it pulls to the left kinda hard, the problem was a bad cv joint.

wow, mine goes tothe right like ****, when I`m on the high way and I wanna changed lanes to the right, I just let go of the wheel for 3 seconds and i`m in the other.
but this all started when I hit a curb this winter, I`ll get it fix in the spring

Yea, Like when you are on a straight road and you let the wheel go, it likes to pull to the left. I had the tires balanced and the car aligned. Ill go ahead and replace the cv joint and all and see if that will fix it.

ROFL... I dunno that's hella funny to me because I've done that in my cx... I just chalked it up to the fact that I drive a $2000 car and it will never ride like a bmw or other high end sporty vehicle.
