That doesn't mean to say that someone out there doesn't have a genuine manufacturing defect.

I just question whether some people seem to be mistaking what is the car's steering nature for something that they see as a defect. Hence: you take it to the Honda yard, they can't feel a problem -- because your car is no different to any other. The problem is that you don't like the nature of the car...

I would suggest that if you feel that you really have a problem with your steering, then meet up with somebody else on this forum and let them drive your car -- for an opinion from somebody who knows intimately what their car feels like.
I think you are misunderstanding his problem. The problem is when driving on a flat road, with no surface defects, and your hand lightly on the wheel, the car will drift to the right. It's as if the suspension of the car was "bent" to the right. You have to pull the steering wheel to the left to keep the car going straight. If you let the wheel go, the natural centering of the steering wheel will still end up with the car drifting to the right.

A car with proper alignment but the steering wheel offset so that it doesn't point straight when going straight will self-align to drive straight ahead (eventhough the wheel doesn't point straight).

I don't need to drive his car because I had the same problem before after lowering but with the rear camber and toe not within specs.
