Default Re: 2004 Honda Accord Steering problem

Did you noticed the alignment was off when you test drove the car or did
that occur after you had purchased the car? Did you hit a pot hole or a
curve?

You should go test drive another similar car and see if it feels the same.

Do you have good tire pressure on both sides?
Are these turns on flat/level roads and not ones with crowns?

The closer to left tire explanation might be a good explanation if you're
telling a 5 year old but... ask them to prove that one.

Good luck..
