Honda CR-X (EF) problem
Wuz up to everyone. My car has a serious problem-Once you let go of the steering wheel it pulls (very) hard to the right hand side. Now, when I took it to Les Schawb to fix the camber (since I had put new ground control springs), the guy working on my car said that he tried to align the car to the best he could, but said that since the "front passenger right hand side lower control arm" was bent-that it would be impossible to give the correct alignment. Now, I know that it could be a number of things, but I was wondering if anyone can confirm or deny his claim. Also if anyone can give some advise as to what could be the "possible" problem. Also I pulled out a lower control arm from a CR-X and was wondering if "simply" replaicing that part would it "fix" the problem. Thanks!

P.S. If you look at the front right hand side passenger tire you cant just makeout that the tire is slightly "out of place" because it seems that the tire is not centered, but rather slightly pulled back (meaning pulled back towards the rear of the car). You have to look at it and measure closely in order to notice.

fix the control arm and your problem will be solved. you must have hit something very hard in order to bend that arm. I suggest replacing it and having another alignment done and your problems should be solved. Good Luck
I doubt they're trying to rip you off. Just fix the lower control arm, and inspect the ball joint. Something similar happened to someone I know, and those were two of the things that needed to be fixed to get the proper alignment.
Not to make you feel retarded but you did check the tire pressure to make sure that they are both the same? I know that this can make your car pull hard to one side.
