    car drifts to the right

    here's the story

    i drive a 02 ep3, whenever i press the gas and let go of the steering wheel the car will drift to the right specially in the freeway and driving fast
    and gets stronger and stronger as days goes by
    it started doing it like last year
    i have no idea what it is
    i went to get an alignmet but the guy said its pointless cause thats not the cause of it
    could be blown bushings?

    k20power might just be right. I drive a 02 ep3 as well and i have the same exact problem. I bought this car in december of 2009 and its been drifting to the right ever since. I took it to Midas to get an alignment and they also told me that there was no point cause it's not the problem. So he told me to go to another mechanic because they couldnt figure it out. So i continued driving and then in december of 2010, I took my car to a local mechanic to get my gear oil changed (yes, i drove for an entire year swerving to the right). When the mechanic put my car on the lift and took my front two tires off, he told me to come check something out:

    My front left lower control arm was dented, and both ball joints were shredded up. -__- I still havent gotten it fixed because I didnt have the money but i recently got hired as a waiter so i plan on visiting them for repair. Got quoted for $424 for both LCA and ball joints. Hope this helps.
