Default Steering Problem

my prelude pulls to the right pretty hard. it totally chewed up a new left front tire. so i took it to the alignment shop and they said it was almost dead on yet it still pulls...any ideas on what it could be before i just take it to the honda dealer?

uneven tire pressure, bent frame, bent rim?

please try searching people...

and avoid the dealership... im pretty sure you know, as well as most others, that they rip you a new ******* with their prices x_x ...

have you tried jacking up your car and looking at the arms? something could be bent or cracked... again, as in another thread almost exactly like this posted within the same time frame... if it's really bad on one tire, sagging spring perhaps is one possiblity?

swap tires left to right. if you pull the other way its a tire problem. (assuming you bought a new tire, and that at least the front tires have equal tread.)
