Vehicles are suppose to pull to the right every 'X' amount of feet, I don't know the exact number since I've been out of school for sometime now. But if you look at your local streets you'll notice there is a 2 degree slope from the center of the road to the edges. It's designed like this just incase a driver falls asleep or becomes unresponsive for some odd reason. It directs you off to the side of the road and not into on coming traffic.

you are the man! Thanks.

I guess the Honda folks did touch it because they are within the specified range 5.8-6.3. Do you recommend I go back and do it again? My rear tires are wearing out so I am thinking maybe I'll wait till I get a new set of tires and then balance and align the wheels.

looks like you have more caster on the left wheel and less caster on the right wheel, tats why its leaning towards right when you let go of the steering wheel. wat's the alignment reading on the front casters?
yes. you should go back and get it redone again. just tell them it's pulling to the right. Once they hook it back up, some will eventually be off. That's how it is. If alignment is set perfectly dead on spot in the middle of spec, then you will not see or feel a difference on the road. But if alignment is set close to the edge of the alignment specs, it will eventually move and be out of specs. I know this because I had done it before.

Doesn't matter. Cross caster isnt causing your pull. Go replace your worn rear tires.
