How easy is it to knock a car out of alignment?

I havent done anything to my car (no curbing, no killer pot holes) and it feels like its pulling slightly to the right...When I floor it
without holding the steering wheel, the steering wheel jumps to the right a little...

Am I just imagining things ?

Thanks...

I've owned honda's since 1984. They RARELY get "out of alignment". Personally, I think it a sack of shit. Make sure your tires are balanced etc.....I would take it to the dealership and COMPLAIN !

Oh, if you drove over the Hudson river, or into a curb, then, yes, you wacked something out of alignment ! Otherwise, bullshit.....

Hitting a decent sized pothole hard enough cna throw u outta alignment.

When you floor it and the car steers to a certain direction, its called TORQUE STEER...all if not most FWD cars have this characterisitic...

Yes, you are feeling torque steer when you floor it.
These cars stay in alignment very well. Most people only really align their car when they adjust the ride height.
Check the air pressure in all of your tires. More than likely, uneven air pressures across the tires is why your car may be drifting. Continual uneven air pressures is conducive to a car getting out of alignment over time, as well.
You said you feel "pulling". Check the pressures first. On most roads most cars will "drift" to the right if you take your hands off the wheel. That is because most roads are slanted slightly towards the outside to help with drainage.
Hope this helps you.

I had a feeling it might be the tire pressure, because I recently took the car in for a 15,000 maintenance and the car felt great when I got it back. Then after a week the car started pulling slightly again...

Thanks for the info...I'll check it out...
