Default Car pulls to the right

I replaced the front and rear ball joints. I got the car aligned and it keeps pulling to the right... the numbers on the alignment are good. I also replaced the sway bar end links and brake pads before i replaced the ball joint. What could be wrong with the car that is pulling hard to the right under acceleration?

That points to rear tires. Either difference in sizes or even just one side worn more than the other, or more likely just differences in tire pressures.

This car, with its torsen diff and suspension design and tire size is very sensitive to rear tires.

You would expect though that before alignment a reputable shop would set all the tire pressures...

I tool it two different shops for the alignment. One was Honda. The tire a almost new they only have 6k miles on them and the tire pressure is good as well.....

Switch the rear tires left-to-right temporarily, if it makes a difference, you have your answer. Has the car ever been crashed? Does it feel like torque steer?

Sounds like a rear diff issue.
