I have a 2001 Honda Accord with new tires. It pulls to the right constantly. I've already had an alignment - no accidents - haven't hit anything either...any ideas?

it might be a bent tie rod. good luck

Assuming the front end is good and tight and tire pressure is equal on both fronts it has to be the tire(s) itself. Have the fronts swapped to the rears and see if this changes anything.

recheck the alignment, take it back, they didn't align it right.

your tires could still be bad even though they are brand new, you could possibly need to check your tire pressure it should be at 32 psi in every tire, or if it isnt pulling hard all the time it could just be the road.

BREAK PADS OR CALIBERS

Other than the tire being low on air pressure whoever did your alignment should have found what was causing the pulling if they run a alignment shop I would think.

People don't realize how often shops charge for work they simply don't do. I would go to a a different shop, and get them to agree to take it for a test drive beforehand so they know what you're asking them to fix. Oh, and don't let them sell you any other services while you're there.

i own a repair shop,and id have the alignment re-checked on it,its real easy to make one small mistake that could cause it to pull a little to one side,and also a tire can do this ,id take it back to who-ever aligned it though,if its pulling to one side something is wrong,and it could be a safety issue that needs to be checked as soon as possible,good luck,i hope this help,s.

Have it rechecked for alignment, either a bent tie rod, brakes, tires out of balance, or busted motor mounts.
