Default accord steering

My 96 accord ex v-6 has pulled to the right since I bought it with 21k on it. I have had it aligned twice by the dealer who told me this is normal for this car. Is this true or smoke? I have a 94 lx 4 cyl. that doesnt do this at all, any comments about this?

No, it's not normal. Are you sure you're on a level road?

If it is mechanical, it's likely the tie rod that is bent.

Take it to someone you trust. Dealers arent always the best place. The more cars they service, the more money they make. Sometimes, they just rush your car through to get rid of you. Report this dealership!

the v6 accord can pull to the right normally. They have bad issues with torque steer. Mine has done it since it was new if you drop the pettal hard it will pull ever so slightly. if you are turning while accelerating you can feel the pull to the right more. I think he was refering to torque steer

If you have a printout of the alignment, post the frot and rear L/R toe, total toe, L/R camber and caster, steer ahead and thrust angle.
