Hi guys, A month ago I changed my left side upper control arm, I had an adj. camber in there, had the car aligned and no problem or pulling except that the upper arm was hitting the wheel well. Since that camber on that side was going bad anyways I decided to replace it with the one that came with the new upper control arm and ball joint and have the car re-aligned. Well I did that and also changed the sway bar links and link bushings, no more hitting on the wheel well. Later that day I also installed a new set of brembo rotors and honda pads and then realigned the car. After doing this the car is now pulling to the right as I drive. I brought it back to the shop and they checked the aligment. 3 of my cambers are slightly out of spec, but that should not cause the pulling, am I right? The shop rotated the tires and it still pulls and they don;t have any other suggestions. When I changed the sway bar links I did notice that the right lower ball joint has a little play, could this be the reason why it is pulling. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Print out of the alignment enclosed.

i have this same problem on my 93 my ball joints are no good also when you change rotors you shouldnt have to realign the car so check out your lower ball joints there should be no tolerance

Check your right brake caliper to see if it spins freely. Check your tire pressures.

I want to thank those who replied. My issue has been solved. The front camber difference was most likely the problem. I spoke with a senior honda technician and he told me that because I had to different set of cambers in the front, that could cause a pulling. I installed the same adjustable camber on both side and had the car religned and no more pulling. The specs now read 0.8 left and 0.9 on the right on the camber.
My upper control arm is slightly hitting because it is too close to the body, but I am going to shave off it a little bit.
Once again thanks all.

How much did you pay for the ball joint (parts) , wheel alignment and labor?
