Today on lunch I took my S home and found the handling to be way off...I realized that the car is pulling to the right when the steering wheel is even...the tires look lined up straight but I am suspecting I need to get an alignment...is this even possible? I had an alignment done a month or two ago at NTB...could something else be causing this? The problem is magnified when I hit the gas to the point where the car doesn't feel very stable. Help would be appreciated; I don't understand how something like this could just pop up in 4 hours at a parking lot...

 

Check the tire pressures.

 

Ok tire pressures:

drivers rear: 30PSI
drivers front: 30 PSI
passenger front 32 PSI
passenger rear unknown; valvue isn't releasing air pressure...

Adjusting to 32 front, 34 rear didn't help any

 

Passenger rear being low will definitely cause a pulling to the right.

 

What do you mean "valve isn't releasing air pressure"?

The point is, if a tire is low the car will start to exhibit behavior like you are describing. So was that passenger rear tire low or not?

And you should have your two fronts the same, and your two rears the same.

Personally, I find that the fronts should be a pound or two higher than the rears.

If you have the pressures all adjusted properly and the car still pulls, then the next step would be to have the alignment inspected.

 

I mean that I place the nozel of the air pressure gauge over the valve and no air pushes out to give me a reading on that tire

Aligment inspection towmorrow

 

My MY04 only have 4000 miles but the alignment was off and I just had it corrected. The service manager in dealership told me Honda Japan do not check alignment before shipping their car. Probably the dealer that I bought the car from should have done the alignment before handing me the keys.

 

this is of concern....

 

That probably means that there isn't enough air in that tire to give a reading! That would lead to the symptoms you're describing. Look for a nail/bolt/hole in the tire. Try adding air and see if it will hold it long enough to get to the tire store. If not, remember not to put the spare on the rear, as it's hard on your diff.

 

Here's a thought: Maybe that tire is out of air
