P/S lca bushing that was JUST replaced has softened and has play in it, but nothing TOO crazy. told em to get OE but he rather have the API cuz it was cheaper…:facepalm ---

If its not a bushing, or bent control arm, I dont really know. How wide are your tires? Running a 205/50r15 on mine, with no PS made it pull with the grooves in the road alot. Does it do it on the highway also? If its a b18b, its not putting crazy power down, so its not that. Motor/torque mounts are all good? ---

try swapping the tires, need new tread? did the new alignment exaggerate the natural pull? maybe need to toe out a touch or something. alignment and tire pressures are the only thing I could think of. also if your diff spins one tire more… ---

I don’t know these hondas well, but I’ll assume they have equal length halfshafts up front. Assuming that, torque steer is typically caused by unequal torque bias from the diff outwards, or lateral movement in the engine mounts causing unequal halfshaft angles. Lot’s of things can cause the first issue. Very simple to check for the second though so that would be my approach to the matter first. If though the has unequal halfshafts then that’s a huge culprit right there. Drastic amounts of torque bias can be checked at the hubs with some time and simple tools if needed. Does the tranny have some form of LSD in it? Also assuming both tires are up to spec as well(OD and pressure) ---

the b series has a half shaft, so equal length axles. i think the d series has some with and some without a halfshaft. unequal length axles even with less power are more prone to torque steer. ---
