Re: Hard steering pull....
Ok stupid question time...Does it feel like it is pulling or drifting,, if pulling, its a problem in the front end. If drifting, it may be a problem in the rear end of the vehicle. sometimes a failed rear wheel bearing or brake hanging up can cause drag and cause the car to drift some..Of course check the front calipers and wheel bearings to see if either are causing drag.
Also, on my prelude I had a similar problem that no alignment shop could figure out..The bolts to my steering rack had fell out.. Hard to explain what it felt like driving it, but it defenitely pulled. Some times my steering wheel would just stay half turned while I was going strait and sometimes it would be strait as hell. I don't know if it's a common thing or not, but I guess it happens.
Also,, since the front of these cars is wider than the back of the car, some old school alignment techs have trouble aligning them. Make sure that whoever does your alignment had new equipment and knows how to use it correctly.. The first time I had my car aligned, some idiot did it and had my rear tires pointing so far out it was stupid. I had to go to sears to get them to realign it.. I had to pay twice for an alignment and it sucked... Hope this helps
