2021 Honda CR-V — car pulls right even though alignment is green

WeekendGuy384Community StarterJun 19, 20262021 Honda CR-V EX-LLos Angeles
2021 Honda CR-V EX-L, about 76,000 miles. Alignment printout is within spec, but the car still wants to drift right on a flat road. Tire pressures match. Would you cross-rotate tires to check radial pull, or look harder at caster/camber side-to-side? Interested in real owner experience more than guesses.

I'd want a measurement, not a hunch. If a shop can't duplicate it on the 2021 Honda CR-V, bring a video plus freeze-frame data, not just a story. That's the branch I'd chase this week. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

I went back under the 2021 Honda CR-V and it only happens after a heat soak, not on a cold start. Heat soak after errands is the other window.

Log the conditions before you spend. If a shop can't duplicate it on the 2021 Honda CR-V, bring a video plus freeze-frame data, not just a story. That's the branch I'd chase this week. On “v — car pulls right even though,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Do that first. Video is ugly but it shows the hesitation.

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. Capture voltage while the 2021 Honda CR-V is actually failing — after it restarts you've lost the clue. That's the branch I'd chase this week. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. Parking it somewhere I can hear it better next time.

If it were in my driveway, get a real battery/charging test on the 2021 Honda CR-V, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. That's the branch I'd chase this week. This is from a 2021 Honda CR-V in Los Angeles with 76,000 miles. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.
