Default LSD Problem maybe?

Hi, I'm the guy that had the engine replaced.. Reason = Accident
I went off-road when crashed on some rocks, had to replace both right side wheels+tires..

My question is, when I got the car back, i went to do an alignment on the new wheels, right?
The thing is, it was pulling really hard when accelerating.. The guy that did the ALIGNMENT told me that on NEUTRAL the car is fine, but when you drive it, it pulls ******* hard to the right..
They checked everything, and looks FINE!
Is there anyway that the LSD or something is wrong with the car? (recently replaced the engine)
Don't know how to explain the feeling.. The steering wheel pulls hard to the right..
Any helps? tips? :D
thanks.

So if you get going to say.. 70mph, and its pulling, if you put in neutral it stops pulling? Does it ONLY pull when accelerating in gear? or while decelerating in gear as well?

did you only replace just the tires on the right side of the car if so that is probably your problem

i would put both the new tires on the front

why did u have to replace ur engine? did u ride with a spare on the front for any period of time? because if u have a flat in the front, u have to jack the car up, put the spare on the rear and take a rear tire and put it up front. because if u drive with one regular tire and a spare up front it WILL MESS UP LSD. take it to the dealer.

but again, why did u have to replace the engine? why did u go offroad in a civic? u know they are made for the streets right? its not a bronco

To summarize his story:
he was a dumb@ss driving on a road he didn't know anything about. He then took a corner way too fast. He went off-road and crashed.
--------------------------------------------------------(mabe it was the other kid and im mistaking him with the other guy lol my bad if im wrong)
That probably messed up the lsd as when he drives and accelerates, one tires starts spinning faster than the other which can pull the car to one side.
That or there's tire wearing on the inside where u can't see it. But then again that car has like 1K miles on it if im not mistaken?
u still have warranty from honda so why dont you take it back to the dealership?
