Does your TSX drift left or right

I just picked up my TSK 6MT and it seems to drift to the left or to the right depending on the crown of the road more that it should. Anyone else?

When the road is uneven I notice the drift also. Totally normal.

Take in consideration of the lane you are in. In Houston the freeway lanes are very very slightly sloped all the way across 6+ lanes for water drainage. Some places are so slight people dont notice, but it does cause cars to drift in one direction. This also applies to new streets in Houston.

Actually, I re-read a review from Car & Driver where they say it's a little "nervous" at speed so I guess this is normal!

My 04 was driving very straight... My 05 pushes to the left. I'm taking it in for an alignement on Tuesday.

But remember the car will always pull on one side depending of the winds and road angle.

The angle of the road will cause any car to drift. If you drift sometimes left and sometimes right, then its normal. If itts always one way its your alignment.

Also, the wide tires on the tsx cause a bit of tramlining. Do a search on here and you will find more info on this.

Nothing a good alignment can't fix.

Yea... may definately be the alignment if it's just left.
I actually want to get 18's. However, the RJ's are half an inch wider.
I know the TSX tramlines just a tad now, i dont mind if it stays the same. However, i dont want it to get a lot worse. So i'm just a little nervous.

Mine is nearly perfect... just lucky I guess, they all come with slightly different alignment.
