few weeks ago, hit a nasty pot whole. Bent an oem rim, blew a tire.
Replaced both. Had the new tire / wheel installed at dealership. At the same time had a 4 wheel alignment.
Dealership said that I must have thumped it good, because there was a slight part of the alignment that was "uncorrectable." They said that this might be reflected in drift.
My car seems to pull very very slightly to one side.
My question is this: what if anything can be cone about this. I mean, I have allready dropped some cash on tire and wheel, I and I do not want an 06 that "drifts." I don't care if I have to replace all kinds of stuff. That's what insurance is for. I want it to be perfect.
thoughts?

Bye TSX, hello domestic?
very very slightly is going to happen even on a normal car IMO, so its not worth throwing cash at. plus its not entirely obvious which part is bent, so it's likely very expensive, so even if a shop did tear it down, you might never be 100% happy

Ask the alignment shop to correct the front toe to a little positive like +0.01 and even out the rear toes to slightly positive.
