lean in front right wheel
04 Acura TL .Front passenger side has a lean in the wheel car seems uneven at times ;more noticeable on uneven surfaces it looks like the car was only lowered of one side, the car has all stock suspension and has never been lowered also the steering wheel seems to turn easier to the left and kind of stiff turning to the right ..The car was in an accident at the front I was had the 4 wheels aligned and was told the right wheel needed to be pulled that was done but all the above mentioned symptoms remains. any suggestions?

Is it possible that my sway bar was damaged in the accident .when my wheel went back.and needed to be pulled if this was the case could it have been overlooked by the mechanics that did the alignment ?
can the sway bar or sway bar links be causing the problem

You need to replace your ball joint or camber kit if you have that in the front, especially if you hear a clunk. Also while you're at it.. I would check your control arm if your saying it was in an accident it could've been bent a little to cause the lean in which no matter how much aligning you do, you can't correct it.

Sounds like you do not have the knowledge and should locate a more reputable/honest shop to help you out. More than likely the previous shop did NOT do a proper repair based on your descriptions. Various components could have been affected and it takes someone experienced to located the problem. This is a safety issue as well, you need to feel confident in your car again after the accident. Sorry to hear that.

Definately a bent/damaged part. I wouldn't drive it until you figure it out. No amount of alignments are going to help.
Swaybar can make the clunk noise but can't affect alignment.
