My 95 accord pulls slightly to the left and when im going slow it seems to pull from left to right almost like i have a flat tire - but all my tires are fine i checked them today.

I am getting new tires - will this help at all or do i need to get an alingment?

 

if you need and are getting new tires.. definately do an alignment after getting new tires ,,

 

How much does an alingment cost usually?

it depends on the area you live and the place you choose to do it.
The price should be between 40 to 60 bucks.

 

its possible you've been watching too much Nascar.

 

You most likely have a broken belt in the left front tire. It has effected rolling resistance (the pull left), and is causing that left/right weeble as you roll slowly.
It can sometimes be seen either as a bubble which forms on the sidewall, or if you put the car up on a lift, spin the tire and the tread will look like its going from side to side.

Well im getting new tires and rims soon so ill see if that fixes it.

 

any time you put new tires on at least check the allignment and I would only let the Honda dealer do it. A lot of tire places will not bother to center up the steering wheel. All accords require 4 wheel allignment in order to make sure the the toe in is correct.

 

Not only that, not only do you want the car's *** end to follow the front; but actually you can't properly align the front (They reference off the back wheels) until the rear's are set.

Most tire stores give you that "Free alignment w/purchase of four tires" gambit, but only align the fronts. On Honda's, it's actually been worst considering earlier models only had provisions for the toe to be adjusted.

What bean counter decided to do that? Probably ended up as a Forensic Auditor at Enron.

I got 4 brand new tires today and my car seems to drive alot straigther now.

 

did you get an alignment done??? if not ,, get 1 done,...

 

No allingment - i dont need one - my car drives perfectly straight now - why waste money on one?

talk to me in a few months when your tires start to wear uneven ..

 

Thats what tire rotation is for.

I dont need an alignement - im not going to wast my money on something i honestly dont need.

Trust me! Tire rotation not going prevent the tire from wearing. Rotation is just make all 4 tires wear evenly, so the next time you happen to replace them, it will be all 4 at the same time and not just two.

For this case it really up to you. But if you have a chance to gets your car up on the alignment rack, I can pretty sure that "toe" will be off spec.
