2008 Honda Civic car pulls to the left after getting new axle and alignment
What is your question?
2008 Honda Civic - After getting two new front axles installed along with an alignment, my car immediately pulls to the left (driver side) especially at higher speeds. It never did this before the axle replacement. I took it back to the same mechanic and they replaced the left front axle again but with a genuine OE Honda axle. The right one is new but is not an OE Honda axle. The car is still pulling to the left (driver side). I also had the tires rotated and that didn't help. The mechanic said everything has been double checked and they can't find why it's pulling to the left. They told me to take it to a Honda dealership and have them diagnose the issue. I have an appt with Honda but they are going to charge $205 just for the diagnosis. I've already paid $1000. Just wondering if anyone has heard of this and has any suggestions. I am not a mechanic but I could at least take any suggestions to Honda or another mechanic. Thank you!

Hello, Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010.
If there was no pull prior to the replacement of axles and the wheel alignment, and suddenly you have a pull now -- it feels clear to me that something is off due to workmanship or quality of parts. The shop that worked on the vehicle should work to resolve the concern.
Taking the vehicle to a dealership or other repair facility may give you unbiased answers as to what is wrong. However it might cost you money. So I might suggest that you have the original shop keep working to resolve your concerns. Make sure you enter face with the management to express your concerns.
