    I was told of this recently, besides the fact that we drift to the left a little because of us driving on the left hand side, the other reason is because of the car's sub frame, dealerships now know of this issue as countless wheel alignments have yielded nothing and after checking with Honda HQ it was found to be the sub frame. To correct this problem, the sub frame needs to be adjusted slightly to correct this issue...
    ahh an insider hey?! Well if they are adjusting the sub frame that sounds like the issue is with unequal camber left and right (rear). So even though the rear camber is within spec it might be uneven left and right.

    It raises a question though - do people who have a camber kit fitted have the pull on the steering to either side?

    ps - I am happy to be proven wrong on this but I seriously doubt this is a tyre only problem. I had the same issue on the OEM Dunlops and it reoccured later with Falken 512s. I also find it a bit surprising that the issue occurs on both the OEM Dunlops and now the OEM 17" Bridgestones. All 3 brands of tyres can't be defective. This has to be an alignment or suspension issue. I swap suspension and do an alignment and the issue goes away?

    Something is not right and quite frankly I am surprised how difficult it has been for some of you to get resolution from Honda. Hopefully there will be a definitive answer soon. If it is unequal camber that is a relatively easy fix.
