Chronic pulling to the left

Ever since I bought my car it has been pulling to the left. Acura says the shocks are ok, no alignment problems, toe and camber are ok also. Any suggestions as to why?

Did they actually put your car on an alignment rack and take measurements? If so, they should have given you a print (a8d charged you $80 or so). Scan that and post it or post the numbers.

If they didn't put it on a rack, then they have no clue if your alignment is good or not...

if everything is truly in spec, its probably a bad tire, swap left to right and see if that changes the direction of the pull

General Tires?

I bought a 2006 with 36000 miles, factory certified. Car would pull and take a set on some lines. Replacing the General tires with Michelin's fixed it 95%. The Generals had deep tread and hard rubber.

Most likely the tires. As it was said, swap the front tires from side to side. If it starts pulling to the right, it's the tires. If no change, it's the suspension.
