Alignment Issues

I have a 2005 TSX with 8900 miles on it. Back at 4k miles, I had 4 alignments done but my car still was not driving straight. Then it turns out one of my tires "cured" wrong so discount tires gave me a new tire (i bought the warranty). Anyways, then at about 7k miles my alignment seems to be off again so I had it redone. Didn't helped. Had the tires balanced - didn't help. Not sure what the problem is. The steering wheel sits towards the left and when I straighten it out, the car goes to the right. I'm going to mention it tomorrow to the dealer when I take it in for a service check.

Anyone have the same problem?

If you're on a flat road does the car pull in either direction when you let go of the wheel? The steering wheel not pointing straight ahead may not be an indication of bad alignment. The dealer should be able to adjust the steering wheel so that it points straight. Also, the TSX seems to be very sensitive to crowned roads and will pull in the direction of the slope of the road.

Thanks. My dealer said the same thing and I got the alignment redone with the steering wheel straighten.

So... is everything solved? or you still have a problem?

I also agree that the TSX is very sensitive to crowns in the road. It will be even more sensitive with low profiles tires and wider tires.
