I will take it to a suspension shop on my next day off.

Hecash, yes the tires are all facing the same direction and all have the same pressure. That is the first thing i ruled out. I also rotated them side to side as well as tried a second set and rotated that set as well.

If anyone could recommend a good suspension near Temecula CA that would be great.

Anyone have a number or address for Shane at aliso viejo auto repair?

Could this be radial pull? I had a similar issue with my RSX-S several years ago. How old are your tires?

was your car in a smash? When did this problem start happening? did you do any mods? some cars will pass the alignment but the frame could still be bent out of specs.

Thanks you Deathsled.

Already ruled out radial pull and have had several alignments done.

The problem has existed ever since i bought the car. I am the second owner. There is no telling what the previous owner did to the car. It has a clean title but i the rims are dinged up. Looks like he might have slid it into a curb.

The car is completely stock except for the rims that i replaced.

I believe the drive wheel is the rear right wheel when the LSD is not engaged..
