Default car pulling left.

hey guys i have an 01 accord
the car recently started pulling left.
initially i thought it was the alignment, so i went ahaed and got it done.
the car is still pulling left....
can anyone give me a suggestion on whats going on?
also, the rear sway bar endling is broken (passenger side) but i dont believe this would cause that, would it?
thanks in advance....

no the broken endlink would not cause your problem.

What condition are your tires in? Under what conditions does it pull to the left? And what were your final alignment specs?

You also might have alignment numbers that are within factory spec, so they won't wear tires adversely, but they can line up improperly and cause a pull.

i dont have the specs on hand but, i actually had them do it twice because it was still pulling left.
as far as the tires the right said, for whatever reason, is a bit more worn, but it is not a significant difference.
also i might add that the car only pulls left under acceleration, when coasting it tracks straight, which now i think it might have something to do with the engine mount(s).
thanks again
