Default Lude pulls to the left

My prelude had been in a little accident by accident I mean I slid into a curb so the back left tire had been bent for some time and I change out everything and it ended up being the A arm bent sub frame everything is fixed and realigned but yet it still pulls to the left I mean I can hold it straight but would love for it to stop.

Who did the alignment, what specs did they end up with? Might want to try another shop for a second opinion.

Other possibility is worn tires, but they should have caught that as well.

The tire place right down the street from me did it and I seen the results everything was in the green area maybe it has something to do with not having the same 4 tires on like I have 2 different back tires and the front 2 are the same kinda bald but not too bad after my crash going to fast turning with bald tires I changed my back two tires because they were ruined so ill get tires ASAP and let you know. But we took the car to two places and they both said everything looks straight now

Is it very obvious or is it very slight pull?

Tires have a lot to do with that as well.

Well when I'm
Driving straight the steering wheel is turned I'd 11:00 and 12:00 is slightly moving to the right if that makes sense using clock terms

The difference in tires front to rear isn't a huge deal, I had kumhos on the front and falkens at the rear on my bb6 for the first year I drove it. Tracked perfectly straight.

Is there any abnormal or uneven wear on the tires? Everything nice and tight? Before throwing money at everything, rotate the tires left and right if ya can and see what it does.

Yeah, honestly I have had a wierd pull before, and though everything was fine. Finally get under the car for something else, and see that the very inside of one tire has goofy wear, while the rest of the tire looked great from the side. Swapped on good tires and the problem went away.
