Like the title says. I got the right hand side cv joint changed today by a shop. Now the car pulls to the right quite noticebly under acceleration. It seems to be fine once I'm cruising. Only under acceleration. I called the place back and they are certain its nothing to do with what they've done. Has getting this fixed revealed a different problem? I got a wheel alignment done a few weeks ago and the guy says nothing they would have done would have affected this. Thanks for any help.

You got more positive caster on right hand side than LHS i think?
And i really wanna ask, what can alignment do on honda's? Couldn't adjust caster and camber in stock arm, well... maybe a little bit a caster and adjusting camber by adding washers on the bolt or adjust some toe. But there are not much that you can do really i think. I really feel those tyre shop try to rip off when i ask them to do alignment and they say those kind of shit to me. If they can adjust caster and camber, what does aftermarket upper control arm and caster kit for?

I really want to find out the reason so don't give me any attacks please
